Hurts Like Paradise Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Here is a poem I wrote. I hope it inspires you to love yourself more! :) News media showing happiness is in sight 1st world problems of pressure of success Equivalent to hamster in a wheel getting no rest No wonder we can’t sleep at night We will never measure up, believe me Politicians, teachers, allies don’t deceive me But I will tell you what really grieves me These lies that my self love never frees me Love your church Honor every doctor and nurse Give to charities But donations to self is in scarcity Society is a corrupt force Making your delusions worse We’re told to love ourselves is a crime It’s arrogant and vain like grime Jury duty, taxes, pay rent, so many demands Colleagues, parents, siblings, so many shaking hands But when you turn over on your side at night Do you ever make it right? © Carly Wiggins 2018 Check out my blog: https://messageinstanza.com/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBalloon Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi, Glad that you love that video. No~, I just searched internet and wanted to find a good/effective "presentation" of CC's poem, then came up this one (I think it is a good making for sure)~ but in general, I love how words/visual/music could go together to have a more peaceful, contemplative "synergy" which is soothing and nutritious to our soul, or at least the psychological/emotional well being~ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
