Sleeping beauty (a poem? Idk)

Creativity

Once upon a time I was the happiest person you could think of
Once upon a time I didn’t have pain
Once upon a time I hardly cried
Once upon a time I had the world at my fingertips
Once upon a time I not only liked myself I loved myself
Once upon a time I saw myself as beautiful

Then like sleeping beauty I woke up from my sleep

I woke up and became one of the sadist people I know
I woke up and felt not only the sting of reality but the pain, the anguish
I woke up and now the tears flow like rivers so often I often think I’ll be washed away with them
I woke up to find a nightmare, where the world had fallen away to show nothing left with not a single opportunity open to me
I woke up and found nothing to love in myself
I woke up and looked in the mirror, making excuses for the weight, not washing my face, brushing my teeth until I looked in the mirror and found nothing to admire

I’m sorry you’re struggling like that.

I am too. My therapist wants me to find positive things I can say about myself everyday. Maybe you should try that too. Look for good things, no matter how small you think they are and say them to yourself everyday. Try to add new affirmations as you go.
