Analysis of Acceptance



The feeling of being accepted is what had
Kept me to stay,
But at the expense of me pushing
My family away.

Even though I knew that what I was
Doing was wrong,
I continued using the one thing that
Made me belong.

What I had chosen to do was not the right
Way to go about.
Should have listened to my intuition that I
Never should have doubt.

My inner voice inside my head was repeatedly
Saying no,  
But I’d given in to use and now I have nothing
To show.

Looking in all the wrong places just to
Feel accepted.
All could have been avoided if I just
Had rejected.
