I Accept

I Accept

I've awaken in a a place of 

acceptance today

Acceptance of what is

And what is to be

I accept me

I embrace my struggle

My joys and pains

My summer and rain

I welcome my flaws

My strength 

My insanity

My love

My was

My lies

And 

My truth

I accept me

My dance

And my song

I accept 

My woman

My black

My gay

My humanness 

My shaken faith

My now 

My wait

I accept 

Me
