What is love without acceptance
Wholly?
What about it makes it's existence holy?
Perhaps it is sacred, if it's done fully.
Perhaps it is rare for some to be done so purely
Perhaps it's not worth it for him, with too many checks missing
Perhaps it's not worth it for me,
If there's no capacity for it living
Perhaps you find it in agreement,
Reconciliation of views
Appreciation of difference
And celebration of achievement
Perhaps in commitments sake
We find it diminishes,
Perhaps the way he views it,
Determines why he envisages
Separation
As a concept of healing
However lack of love or commitment
Is the true subject of reeling
Through a particular feeling I felt of his
I gained a sense of what this is
If you can't accept yourself in present time
you'll never know true happiness
And you can paint over it in all the colors of the world
Eat fine cuisine and correct your physique
Find finery in things that are sold
And perfect your perfect technique
But a lack of satisfaction is rust
And metal is your core
time tells that in it,
there will be nothing to hold the paint on anymore
And in mine all I wanted was to peel back the layers
View it for what it was, in steel
Polish it truly over time
So you too could understand
beauty underneath what you see,
is real
