Benefits of Rest
August 6, 2017
Allowed myself to rest
Feel guilt for my choice to sleep
Planned to attend class
Body feels grateful
Needed rest desperately
Gave a gift to self
I think I know why
My body felt out of whack
Made an adjustment
Related to ED
Desire to control my weight
And become thinner
Consequences are
Not worth any potential
Unseen benefits
Hopefully I will
Refrain from venturing down
Treacherous waters
Although I slept late
And limited time has passed
Sense positive shift
Jitteriness gone
I feel calmer, more grounded
Less anxiety
Knowing tomorrow
Holds such importance for me
Faith is essential
If I honor my
Internal values and traits
Believe that I am
Worth as human
Capable; respectable
Teacher and mentor
Why would they hire me
If the school did not see my
Qualifications?
Maybe no one else
Was available for hire
But they expect more
School's reputation
Admirable; they would
Only want the best
Parents pay money
And lots of it- to send their
Kids to Weber School
Not an accident
They selected me to teach
I have been chosen
Opportunity
This is my chance to decide
Will I live and thrive
