Trauma

On days you don't feel worth existing,
Take a cold water shower ,
Contemplate painless death .
Regret not being able to succeed,
Cry your eyes out if tears find you ,
Bunk that online class.
Overthink about being this way,
Laze around till you feel better.
Sip hot chocolate while watching your favourite show ,
Take a break from that toxic person,
Let the sun find you in tatters .
Let your soul breathe freely.
Take baby steps towards finding joy in little things,
Make progress at your pace .
Repeat the process whenever necessary.
BUT REMEMBER
Be kind to yourself ,
Be patient with trauma ,
Don't let them tell you "it's a phase",
You didn't become like this in a day or two.
Would be ridiculous if someone told you that it would go away in a day or two .
