Acceptance

I'm being forced to leave
The ones who matter the most,
To learn a lesson straight forward
Instead of sitting back and coast

Life has dealt me this hand
And I need to play it out,
Though, the pain is so great
That I know, without a doubt

I say I'm ready for this,
Yet my heart cries out for help
I try to scream,
But all that comes out is a yelp

I know theres more to this
Than meets the eye,
I just have to trust God
But I can't help, but ask why

Why does this transition,
Have to be so hard on me
Effecting mind, body, and soul,
Knowing my pain, they don't see

Feeling so helpless,
As my world caves in
Asking when will this be over,
When will my new life begin

Knowing those questions are meaningless,
As fate takes the wheel
The only thing I can control,
Are the feelings that I feel

Acceptance is my greatest gift
Dealing with the cards I've been dealt,
While keeping the ones I love in mind,
Going at my problem heartfelt
