I Wish An Acceptance For My Strengths

I have all the support I need...
For those weaknesses upon me that feed.

I wish an acceptance for my strengths!
Strong and bold shoulders,
To come and be at my defense.

Whenever I choose to suffer and bleed publicly,
I have all the support I need.

But I don't have those in my life who oppose,
Those sorrows others choose in me to see.
