The reality of self-acceptance

Who I am is what I got,
The life I have is the one I got,
The nose I have is the one I got,
The lips I have are the ones I got,
The wrinkles I have are the ones I got,
The smile and frown lines I have are the ones I got,
The ears I have are the ones I got,
The eyes I have are the ones I got,
The face I have is the one I got,
The hair texture I have is the one I got,
The breasts I have are the ones I got,
The booty I have is the one I got,
The thighs I have are the ones I got,
The body I have is the one I got,
The skin tone I have is the one I got,
The voice I have is the one I got,
The speech pattern I have is the one I got,
The relationships I have are the ones I got,
The funds I have is what I got,
The home I have is the one I got,
The environment I’m in is the one I got,
No amount of manifesting, dreamcasting, daydreaming or
a hope, a wish, and a prayer isn’t going to what I got.
What I have now…presently…is what I got.
How can I hope for more,
Dream for more,
Desire for more,
When I’m escaping the reality of what I got?
All I have is what I got.
The embrace and acceptance of what I got, creates space for more.
Change…it happens in the micro…the small actions that build upon my reality of what I got.
