No Enemy to Fight

Day by day,
I am learning how to accept myself.
Day by day,
I am learning how to embrace myself.

Step by step,
I am beginning to accept my past.
Step by step,
I am beginning to embrace my path.

Though the road has often been treacherous,
though things have not been easy,
I am starting to appreciate
where the road has taken me.

Everything has led to where I am now;
a place of belonging,
a place overflowing with love,
a place where I could learn to sing.

I am starting to understand
that my past is not my enemy.
I am starting to see
that my idiosyncrasies are not my enemy.
In fact, there are no enemies for me to fight.
Just my ego calling for love
after feeling hurt and abandoned.
