The day pushes down. There’s no energy to fight. A nap is all I need. A few minutes. I’ll wake refreshed. Prepared to work. But when I open my eyes it’s an hour and a half later, and impossible to rise. My blankets are heavy. The pillow reaches out and grabs my face.
And I need all the reasons I can find not to hate myself. But it’s hard. Even the idea makes me shiver. Because I see loving myself like looking down on others. Riding around on a high horse. And I never want to think I’m better then the people I see on the street. The ones who have it rough. The ones who don’t fit in. The ones I see my own face in.
