Acceptance

My heart soars
To the depths
How many hours left,
to forget?

I stare in to the dark
Hoping to see
Will it ever be clear?

"Let the light in
Maybe you'll understand"

There's no time
We must climb
To find the truth
How far will this go?

How many likes
will it take.
For appreciation?

Will we be happy?
Is it enough?
We must climb...

We push..
Pull...
We kill our selves
Just to see a nod
A hint of approval.

It's the highest
Of the lows...

This need
I know—
Will kill me..
It was never meant to be

I want your respect
It's never apparent.

This facade
It's expected
It's me...

We run our selves ragged...
Too be told,
"You missed a spot.."

I share my interests—
Told,
"That's great and everything but..."

Never asked
Always told

"IT'S NEVER ENOUGH"
I scream inward.
Please let me be enough...
"Please accept ME.."
