DEAR MAY (LETTERS FROM JUNE)

Day 1 : How to make the most of freedom

Teach me how to pick my battles-
How to know when to stay, 
or walk away.
Teach me how not to blame
Myself for the things that are not my fault.
Teach me how to accept
The face I see in the mirror-
The body I have been given. 

Could I learn how to stop wishing
For a different life in a different skin?
Could I learn how to stop dreaming
Of wings to help me fly?
Away from who I am.

Teach me how to learn
_That the beauty of freedom_
_is not merely in the possibility of change_
_But in the gift of acceptance-_
In learning to let things be.
