Acceptance

In this long frail existence

I am, not by choice.

But while I am here,

all I seek is acceptance.

I may be wrong, that maybe right

but my mind fails to see.

Since you refused to say,

I knew neither darkness nor light.

Tell me brother and be true.

Tell me where did I falter?

I didn’t need glory or fame

I strove to be accepted, by you.

With time came a change

Too many to fathom.

I wonder if it was time,

that made us estranged.

It is only fair I move on,

and give in to life's ways.

But having come this far,

I don't know where I belong.

So in vain I set off again

to catch-up on lost time.

Hoping someday tides change and

in this oblivious bliss will I remain.
