thanksgiving Blog and Journals

be thankful for the roof over your head.

the clothes on your back.

the food on your table.

be thankful for the friends who stab you in the back,

the lovers who see you as disposable,

the self hatred.

be thankful for education,

for your country,

for your family.

be thankful for the screams,

the times you were told you weren't good enough,

the times you wished it would all go away.

be thankful for freedom,

for speech,

for health.

be thankful for the lies,

the judgemental looks,

the self destruction.

it's hard to be thankful,

when there's so much to hate.
