Acceptance by friends is most kind
given they don't know my mind
even as the questions reign
traditions felt in harsh complaint
ill intent is not the goal
as reactions come and go
when the source defies a life
expectations become a lie
those deviations from the norm
presented to a perplexed world
are only measured in this way
while self verity defines my day
the combination may instruct
by actions lived the deal is struck
acceptance offered in the storm
revelation as worlds are turned.
