True Acceptance
I revealed to them this night
a serious plight,
that has warred within me.
It was totally by chance,
and, by happenstance,
they absolutely rejected me.
I took flight
into the night
to get away from the betrayal,
but now I'm outside,
and the cold of the night
makes me withdraw even more.
I huddle under a tree
and draw up my knees,
flush to my chest.
The tears start to fall,
because, after all,
my life is a wreck.
I can't believe this rejection,
but upon further reflection,
it doesn't surprise me at all.
The world sees me as a freak,
so why would they agree
that I'm just an animal?
I sob into my knees,
hoping to stay here quietly
and not bring unwanted attention.
Nothing can change
the life I've rearranged
in their favor.
They don't have to see
the freak that is me
in that room anymore.
I'll have to leave Beacon,
though this is my calling,
because it seems the best route.
A rustle in the distance
captures my attention,
and I stand slowly.
With my back to the tree,
I just bend my knees,
ready to run.
I hear their voices
echoing through the forest,
calling my name.
Are they here to finish
and proceed to diminish
the self worth I have left?
But, no, on the wind,
I hear a voice trembling
and calling for me dearly.
I recognize this one.
It's a certain blonde
that has wormed
her way into my heart.
I smile to myself,
and know it's heartfelt
when she calls after me.
I move from my stance,
and give her a chance
by walking into her embrace.
The warmth she exudes
only concludes
that I shouldn't have run.
That betrayal I saw
was just surprise, is all,
and I read her wrong.
True acceptance, you see
is her here with me,
and I realize this now.
She doesn't care
about the bow that I wear
to cover the ears on my head.
So, I smile up at her,
and I swear I hear a purr
coming from my chest.
I stand here with her,
and I can infer
that this is true acceptance.
