Acceptance Poem by Kresta Farr

She sit's alone by the window,
Her coffee cup warming her hands,
She's watching the world go by,
Longing to get involved,
The busy bustle on the streets,
The playing in the park,
She tries so hard to be in the light,
But always ends up in the dark,
She hides herself behind her hair,
She puts on a brave smile,
But no one really knows that girl,
That's longing to be loved,
She quietly waits,
But no one comes,
Yet still she stares,
With hope filled eyes,
Out of the steamy glass,
Hours & hours,
Days and nights,
Weeks and months and years,
One day she will be brave enough,
To stand and face her fears,
She's scared she'll be rejected,
She couldn't take the pain,
So until the day she's brave enough,
She sits and just observes,
So when you see her,
Say hello,
To you it's only words,
To her it is acceptance,
A feeling she belongs,
Give her that tiny little thing,
It will help her to be strong,
One day she will face that fear,
And the lonliness will be gone.
