Acceptance Poem by Soibon Sanchez

The pre-teen never felt it,
Love had not existed.
Life was unkind, it left all so blind.

The pre-teen grew older.
This teen now found love.
So there was no glove
Little to know that the hurt would grow.

Time passes by this teen will not cry.
There has been hurt, so the teen will play the part of the devilish heart.
No longer loving another,
Because of the thoughts that love was meant for another.

The teen has grown and became a parent.
Yet this parent still feels no love for the other.
The child is one that brings in the truth,
For this parent coming from a pre-teen to a youth;
Now knows that the love was always there
Waiting to be uncovered by no other.

Now you may not know how this all has played out
Yet the simple fact remains Love is not found from without!
Love is found where no one else can discover
For love is found inside under your cover!

For the love of another is not as sweet as your own.
If you love yourself you will let it be shown.

Loving yourself is never wrong;
For how can it be?
To love myself more
Is my magical gift, which I bought at my own store!

My love for myself is constant and firm.
No other love could ever be more.
So do not ever feel pity for someone without another,
You just need to discover that there is no true love from the other!
