Rumination

I have been thinking
And I've only just come to the conclusion
These two days
That I don't seem to have
Fully accepted myself
For who I am now
The new me
I don't seem to have fully accepted
This new normal

And perhaps that is why
I am still feeling
A little affected and perplexed by it
And having a small sliver of hope
For things to get back to the way they used to be
For me to get back to the way I used to be

This new normal
This new me
I should open up and accept them
Wholeheartedly

I should love and accept myself
For if I don't
Who will
