I Love to Write

Shadow work:

Pinpoint something that's really upsetting you at the moment. Then try writing an uplifting, beautiful poem about it...

Ahem...

So many things,
How could I choose one?
Let's him them all!
C'mon let's have fun!

Let's start with your eating disorder(s),
Hop right up on to the scale!
All of the sudden you hate yourself,
Oh the ego is so frail!

Now let's move on to isolation,
Locked up safely in your den 🦊
Nobody likes me.
Nobody will.
Keep me away from all men!!

We could move on to daddy issues...
Or the leftover trauma from Curt...
But nah, let's talk about your Mom...
Dig it in 🗡️ right where it hurts.

I could have used some coping skills.
Or maybe a little self esteem.
Instead I got cheez-its with cream cheese and gallons of mint chocolate chip ice cream!

Now you're dying, Mom.
And I'm taking care of you 💔
But I look at my son...
And I have grown from the pain I've been through 🙏

Love, Shooby
