With A Conscious Awareness Of Acceptance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

So crazed then I would have been,
If I did not begin...
To like myself.
Or found outside of me,
An activity that matched...
My personality.

So empty and lost,
I could have easily roamed...
Without feeling I could express,
My thoughts and observations...
I would experience.
That left my mind and heart impressed.

So willing I am,
And happy to say I am blessed.
So thankful too,
I chose a path and direction...
That strengthened my steps,
With a conscious awareness of acceptance.
