Acceptance

As I acknowledge my role
As your child, I build my
Self-esteem in You.

When I realize the
Sheer ignorance of my existence,
I create my identity in You.

I do not know You like
I thought I did-
I always thought I could
Hold my life together, until
It all fell apart.

I always thought that
I knew my own heart...
What a cheap substition
In illusions and lies.
Swallow them whole on
A silver platter and still,
Never be full or satisfied.

As I ascertain the value
Of Patience and Faith,
I become much stronger.
As I strip away the pride
Lingering inside of my heart,
I become even wiser.

As I accept all of You,
I become a better Me.

Humility is the beginning of wisdom. This poem seeps humility and dawning awakening from it's poetic pores. Well done..........E

I adore this poem, it's similar to the one I just wrote , it rings of realization , a spiritual awakening ... courageous to speak of your Creator

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
