Connection or Acceptance

Maybe connection

Isn’t just about being seen

It’s the willingness to cherish

Through timeless discovery

Maybe acceptance

Is really what we need

Not to know all, but to choose love

Embracing while others leave

I used to feel this desire

To be understood somehow

But who could grasp this fire

And the passion in which I drown

No, that is not what’s needed

I’m content to be seen in part

If you can just accept me

It’s enough to give you my heart

Maybe you don’t always get me

Maybe you never will

Maybe that’s ok

Your mere presence has me filled

And if one day you leave me

I’ll dare to shed some tears

Hold back my love though? Never!

I won’t live my life in fear

So here’s to you, my people

The one’s who still embrace me

I’ll give you all that I am

Never letting the heartache change me

For you are worth it all

And maybe I am too

Accepting even our flaws

By love, we’ll make it through
