Poems of Acceptance

You run. It slithers behind you like a python. Inevitably it catches up to you; binds you, Squeezing the life out of you... It hurts. You cry out loud, in pain; it doesn't help. You struggle but the grip only gets constrictive. Exhausted, you give up. There isn't a fight left in you, There ain't no strength to carry on... The pain is too mighty. You contemplate... You cannot outrun it, for it catches up to you like destiny meant it. You cannot outsmart it, for it knows your deepest secrets. You cannot hide from it, for it was born blind. The truth dawns on you... You begin to accept it... The resolve to survive begins to grow... Strength emanates from your defeat, a life you were meant to live but had forgotten. You Smile at every adversity, for it gives but in its own way, your life back...
