I Accept

I accept...

That I have flaws

And faults

Too many to list

But I also have talents

So for the sake

Of acceptance

I will try.

I accept

That I am clumsy

Especially in heels.

I accept

That I am ditzy

To the point of seeming totally clueless.

I accept

That I will always be

My harshest critic.

I accept

That I am a writer, designer, editor

Producer and filmmaker.

I accept

That the innocence of children

Inspires me to ensure that it never fades.

I accept

That I would rather play Candy Land

Then pretend I enjoy being an adult.

I accept

That music is my escape

And nothing could fill that void.

I accept

That I have always been open to love

But have let too many strangers in.

I accept

That I feel too much

But sometimes, not enough.

I accept

That I will never truly accept

Everything about myself

But I also accept

That I will always try.
