The 3 Choices


You ask what I can't leave without

Family, wealth, happiness all choices I agree

What I can't leave without is more than those 3

Something I developed over the years of being me

I can tell you it's defintely not something you see

Self acceptance is what does it for me

It took me years to accept the person I was

Wanting to be taller? shorter? or picking at myself just because

Then I took the time to understand that the man above took time to make the art work

And LOOK here I am.
