Acceptance

At some point, I look back at the fork of life while still facing the path forward. And lament. And want to change.


You can't force people to love you. That is a fact.
You can ask and demand, and face rejection. That is a fact.
You can be given things - all things possible - and that is not enough. That is a fact.
The final thing to do after realization is to accept. Realize what is within my control and what is not. And do what is in my control. That is a fact.
There is a sense of peace, serenity, tinged with a touch of sadness. So painful. So clear. So true.
Goodbye, love.
