Acceptance Poem by Melissa L Tamayo

Acceptance



Although she smiles without a care in the world
Leaving a glow wherever she goes
Behind that stare of hers, screams loneliness
Once clueless as well as careless
Meaningful soul searching,
Consisted of sleeping with any man,
Who would understand
Just knowing the one thing she can control
Made her feel powerful

Heartache after heartbreak
Looking in all the wrong places
Meeting all the wrong kind of faces
A single mom working a dead end job
Forcing her to grow
Becoming responsible
Something she didn’t know

Empty to find love no matter how or who
Someone to accept the two
She’s the strongest person he knows
At night she shuts her doors
Cries with much remorse

Clueless as well as careless; with the muse of life. However, we do learn always from our mistakes. So move on with your dreams. Nice work.

This is a window, slightly opened, into the beauty of a soul's strength. Thank you

Delicious this is. Yes! This one line: ...Her meaning of soul searching... Melissa? You have purpose. You have meaning. AND...Her 'meaningful' soul searching... adds, to me, much more depth to the depth that is already there. Think about it. Even if you decided to leave this 'fantastic' poem the way it is, it is still great. Nice.
