Acceptance

Feelings burden me,
Weigh me down
Like an anchor plunging
Into the soft sand of the ocean.
What is the cause?

Words of comfort
I whisper to myself.
"Easy now. It will be okay."
Anxiety rushes so deep.
Why?

Questions without answers.
Strong feelings like undercurrents,
Pulling at me,
Ripping me apart.
Origination unknown.

Is it necessary to know?
Maybe not.
Perhaps I need only let them be.
Permitting them to exist
Without reason.

Some days are stormy.
Black clouds hide the sun
Yet it does not mean it is not there
Ever-present
Waiting to shine brighter than ever.

Sun does not wish the storm away
Or take it personal.
It rests patiently behind it
Accepting.
So shall I.
