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?

I love that video! Exactly what I needed to hear today! So thank you. Did you create that video by chance? I’ll check out the other things too.

Wow! What a wonderful thing to hear. I have my on YouTube channel now where I do my poetry. I actually sort of “rap” it! Lol. Here is a spiritual freestyle poem I did:

 

 

I hope you like it.

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~
