Acceptance is one of hurdles I have yet to conquer.

Acceptance became my hurdle that every day I try to overcome by portraying of a facade of a guy that has no worries.

Acceptance became my hurdle that every day, every hour, every minute, and every second I stumble and fall to my doubts and my low-self esteem.

Acceptance became my hurdle that every day I ask myself why do I have to go through this.

Every day ,I realize on why I have not overcome this hurdle because of what other people, and I, pecieve me.

Every day, I am reminded that my lack of proper English, color of skin, financial status, weight, personality, and sexuality are the reasons why I have trouble overcoming this hurdle/

Every day, I am reminded that my self esteem has been shredded by society, and myself, because I do not fit the normality.

Every day, I am reminded that I am different from the rest of society.

Ever day, I fight my biggest enemy, myself, to remind myself that my difference is what makes me special.

My difference is what some find inspiring and others detestful.

My difference is what helped me pushed through my journey to become the man I am supposed to be.

A man that some day would be able to accept himself for whom he really is.

A man that some day would not be afraid to accomplis his dreams.

A man that could help others jump this hurdle of acceptance.

A man that could finally be able to finally overcome his own hurdle, himself.
