Positive Negative

I hate being in my body
My body is resilient
My body is mine
My body carries me
It must be divine
 
I have low self-esteem
I can practice being assertive
Feelings come and go
I have friends who love me
I have a safe home to grow
 
My shoulders hurt
I don’t have to carry these burdens forever
There must be a reason I’m alive
I can rest when I need to

Maybe someday I'll thrive
 
My thoughts hurt
I can make gratitude lists
I can go to meetings
I can talk about it
 
My body hurts
Maybe it won’t last forever
I’m not perfect, but I’m trying
I have fuzzy socks
 
Update: I dreamt about fuzzy socks
