Alchemy

Acceptance 

 

We all feel as if we need it

acceptance into a society we individually created

double standards, judgment and opinions is what we yearn to accept

yet we never yearn to accept what we want

 

We ourselves create our own damage

the damage of denial to our individual character

the damage of denial to prosper and become something more than just ordinary fear to become more than just a face,

lost hope to follow those dreams due to our "ignorance" when once a child,

 

Yet the child is the wisest of all

the most innocent and the most daring for they do not hide their personality

for they do not know what society accepts they just know of their dreams,

dreams they proudly and willingly hope to accomplish but soon those dreams are crushed due to the "real world"  

due to hostility and ignorance and cowards and frustration

 

For one will always be hiding until they complete their real true journey they become the dream and they become the alchemist making lead into gold making a dream into their life making sense of what an actual individual is

 

Until then we will all be asleep for the ones who truly wake up are the ones who follow their true desire and stop hiding from it

 

I will soon wake up
