Acceptance Is The Key

Bad news, heartbreak, sadness, grieving

All take a terrible toll on our hearts,

Although this is a natural stage of life

It is crippling when a loved one departs.

***

You’ll feel a wide range of heavy emotions

Crippling sadness, furious anger, hot tears,

Denial is the important crucial turning point

Acceptance is the key to defeating our fears.

***

Processing any loss, whether major or minor

Is toughest at the very initial onset,

You’ll cycle through so many emotions

Thinking, feeling when you’d rather forget.

***

Remember there’s a light at the end of the tunnel

Once you find acceptance you’ll learn to deal,

It will remove any hope, along with the regrets

As well as allow you to fully process how you feel.

***

Acceptance is the key to feeling okay

Allowing you to return to the status quo,

Your heart will begin its healing process

As you gently say goodbye and let it go.

***

I promise you will definitely survive gracefully

Albeit with another ragged scar on your heart,

Build your walls higher to hide the new scars

As you make a resolution to be more smart.

***

Trust and believe in yourself, you’ve got it

There’s nothing you need to overcome this,

Except your acceptance is the ultimate key

So lock up your heart, toss it into the abyss.

***

Once you’ve wrapped the acceptance of the loss

Tightly around your shoulders for all to see,

Each day will get easier, as the pain begins to heal

Until you’ll wake one morning to find you’re free.
