Hello!
I accept
I’m inept
(And a genius)
I accept
That I’ve kept
Too much back.
I accept
That you’ve wept
And I’ve rejoiced.
I accept
Things are swept
Out of reach.
I’ll improve:
Get my groove,
Turn this corner.
I’ll improve –
This interfluve
Will soon flood.
I’ll improve,
Worn smooth
By the waters.
I’ll improve:
Every move
Well thought-out.
The above came up when my journal prompt probed how I juggle self-acceptance and improvement. It’s a mind bending question, because it is so tempting to see our flaws instead of crediting how far down the road we have come already, and honouring the journey appropriately.
