ACCEPT

"I'VE GOT ACCEPTED!"

We all scream when we open that letter.

That one word, accepted, makes our day so much better.


Accepted, however goes a little bit further.

Accept yourself, accept others.

That girl you don't like? Yes, even her.


Acceptance is something we all yearn.

Let's make it something easier to earn.

As we get older, we begin to learn;
People are perfect the way that they are.

To myself,

Put down that food.

Can't you see your bulging thighs?

 

To my friend,

You look wonderful.

You're so lucky you're not my size.

 

To my mother,

Yes, I'm eating, can't you see?

Look here on my plate, I have a couple of peas.

 

To my doctor,

I'm just anxious; school is very rough.

Of course I'm eating enough.

 

To my mirror,

Stop torturing me.

This can't be my reflection that I see.
