Like a turtle…

I am slow moving this morning

Like a turtle

My joints ache

I will my body to cooperate

It doesn’t listen

All there seems to be is pain

Creaking bones

Pain upon breathing

I count, breath in and out

Nothing is soothing

No, my body doesn’t want to work with me today

So like a turtle I hide away.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
