Acceptance

October 4, 2020

With a world so bleak, I must accept I won't receive equal pay.

I must accept discrimination because of the color of my skin.

I must accept the stigma of being a perfect size.

I must accept some men cheat, and others even lie.

I must accept that the lights will never be free.

I must accept my breath could be stopped by one last chop of a tree.

I must accept those with four legs may have more rights than me.

I must accept my body but never my choice.

I must accept my sexuality no longer a personal right.

I guess the word accept redefines acceptance.
