I Contain Multitudes - S.O.S. Complex PTSD Fragmented Self

I want to be seen as many things.

I want to believe,

Just as I want others to believe in me.

No part of me is inherently wrong or unworthy of love.

Each part is here to protect me.

It does not serve me to hate any part,

Because each one is a piece of me.

I contain multitudes.

The part of me that is afraid is me.

The part of me that is confused,

Angry,

Sarcastic,

Ashamed,

Sad,

Or anxious is me.

The part of me that is funny is me.

The part of me that is silly,

Smart,

Kind,

Generous,

Or loving is also me.

All these things and many more are within my being.

And that's okay.

I'm okay,

Because I did nothing wrong and all parts of me were needed to survive.

I am more than a moment,

A thought,

Or an emotion.

Even when it doesn't feel like it,

All of my faces are authentic parts of me.

I can rest in this knowledge and when I am able,

I can sit here and I can find peace,

And I can feel free.
