Her

Acceptance

By KAT HuntPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Don't blame her for her past mistakes.

She had to do "whatever it takes"

She did the very best she could given the circumstance

Though you may not understand why she took the chance

But she did and it turned out to be good

She's done so much that others never would

Her life has not been perfect but she feels blessed

She has been loved, though some have obsessed.

Most people see her as happy and carefree

The girl who loves wildflowers, snakes, and the honeybee

But under her smile, I know the girl who sometimes cries

The one still affected by those old tracks and lies

Please, don't condemn her for things in the past

She's living her life at long last

It is something she worked hard to build

You will find no one more passionate and strong-willed

We look to her when we need love or power

She is there in our darkest hour

So never look upon her with judgment or rejection

Simply take her in. The woman in your reflection
