Excellent Free verse Acceptance by ciliverde

Not impervious, but friable, my skin cannot shed your words the way raindrops slough off window panes and this bitter truth you tell pricks my conscience into froth: anger and shame, shreds of despair, none of which are quelled by any thought I try, nor any action, but breathing into acceptance.   Recognized Author Notes Just some thoughts I've had recently about a hurtful thing an in-law told us.
