I do not know how to throw down a challenge
If I search my memory I have known
In those days I desperately wanted to win
Yet there was no prize to be gained or won
Merely having my say and being believed
For the right that I’d been taught was the right.
After years of struggle, loud voices and tears
I decided to give up the fight.
Acceptance was key in this surrender of mine
Disagreement, I learned, was okay.
It is not up to me to hold onto the right
Each one’s opinions hold sway.
Challenging lessons to learn?
Live without drama and strife
Be kind to myself and all others around
Have fun and enjoy this life.
“All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.”
~ Blaise Pascal
