It’s not always sparkles

Its not always sparkles

Or rainbows

Or endless bliss flowing freely

Its not always sparkles

It really isn’t

Its not always perfect

Its not always clear

Sometimes it’s fog

That feels very near

Sometimes the weight feels heavy

Sometimes the swirl goes around and around

Sometimes peace is

Struggle to be found

Therapy isn’t magic,

And the book isn’t a spell

When your mind goes all cloudy

And races like hell

Its not always sparkles

Its not always bunnies

It was never going to be

Sensing the discomfort

Yet know

That’s not me

Experience the feeling

Don’t bury it away

Experience the discomfort

As a message of healing

And love it anyway

Talk to the voices

Bring them down from the ceiling

It won’t be all sparkles

It won’t ever be quick

It might be quite blue

Yet what is certain

The power

Is in you.

💜
