Accepting


Not appreciating your identity

makes one want to be another

Attempting to alter destiny

giving yourself a cover

you are never who you want to be

nor do you accept reality

 

living in deception

You attempt to fool others

Correction

you are the only believer

Only you are the casualty

of your own deceit

 

fooling oneself

was never clever

have you never felt

It would be better

if you just accepted yourself

 

let others think how they want

say what they like

You are no longer their victim

time is the witness

Their thoughts are their offense

their words their felony

their actions are their sentences

Imprisoned for life

Or just until they learn to confess

and accept who you are

and how you progress.
