Acceptance

by Jennifer Attaway

Hey you

Yes, you

Look at me,

No, don't look around me

Over me

Or by me

Look at me, in my eyes and

See the real me.

Don't try to fit me

Into a category

Or put a title on my head before you

Know who I am.

Hey you

Yes, you

talk with me.

No, don't talk at me

About me

Or for me,

Talk with me, to the person I am and

Discover the real me.

Don't try to stuff me under

A sub-heading

Or put a brand on my name before you

learn the facts.

Hey you

Yes, you

Love me.

No, don't call it love just because you

Like what you see wen you

Look at me

Or love who think you're talking to.

Love me, the person I am and

Accept who I am.

Only then may you

Look in my eyes

Talk to my soul

And truthfully know the real me.
