Why Is Life So Hard by John/Beyond The Illusion/Feeling Discontent/Self-Determination/Time To Change




Why Is Life So Hard

 

I look in the mirror and who do I see,

a social construct looking back at me.

Is this how I want to live my life,

under another’s sacrificial knife?

NO! I choose to be the best I can be,

without the shadow of fear guiding me!

Do you feel there is something wrong with this existence? Then perhaps this audio piece from something I wrote a number of years ago will resonate with you. It beggars belief that it is even more appropriate now than it was then.

There is a selection of my art on canvas and other 

mediums available in my

Bonanza Shop here.

 
I have two self-help stories available exclusively on
 Amazon, either on the Kindle or paperback, and I do
 hope that you find them interesting, thought-
provoking, and, most of all, enjoyable: -
 
This simply written short story is aimed at those who
 seek to understand themselves, and through
 understanding themselves comes a greater
 understanding of life. 
 
(as witnessed by his brother)
Much has been written about Jesus, and no matter your
 view on religion or Christianity, this person, whether he
 was as described in the bible or not, has singularly
 shaped, to a greater or lesser extent, the lives we lead
 today through his wisdom. There are many versions of
 the story, but there is only one truth, and is it not
 better to know the truth?

A Baby's Life by John/Pregnancy/New Parents/Parenthood/Birth/New Life/New Beginnings/Family




A Baby’s Life

 

It is so warm and cosy in here,

and I know only love and never fear!

I don’t know hunger, thirst or pain,

and everything is always just the same!

 

Holy Sxxt, HELP, what is going on,

I feel a push and pull, I am being drawn

into what or where I do not know,

so much for my fleeting inner glow.

 

What a surprise, I have eyes to see

and I realize now there is them and me.

Heavens above, I have a voice too,

tears and screams, WOW, this is what I do!

 

I see a cord and feel better, doubting no more

I am still connected to the good I felt before.

WAIT, they are cutting it, I am alone it’s true

more tears and screams, YES, this is what I do!

 

I realize a feeling I have never felt before,

It is not pain and I am not sore.

I feel a sensation, do I need the loo?

louder tears and screams, YES, this is what I do!

 

Now I feel empty and depleted for sure,

I have no idea if there is even a cure.

Wait, what is that thing risen before my eyes,

who knew I’d like suckling amidst delighted sighs!

 

I have a MOTHER, she whispers in my ear

that she loves me completely, to have no fear!

Wait! Who is this monster, reaching slowly for me?

It turns out it’s my father that I see.

 

When I am hungry, tired or filled my nappy*

I know how to make myself ever so happy.

It is something I have learned to alert my crew,

YES! Tears and screams are what I do!

 

Yet I know that when I laugh and gurgle too,

that it brings smiles to those who love me true.

They love to watch as I do my thing

and when I tire, for me, they love to sing.

Perseverance and Determination by John/Inner Power/Self-Confidence/Self-Awareness/Unconditional Love


 

Perseverance and Determination


With perseverance, determination,

self-discipline, patience,

and love in our hearts,

we can become more

powerful and greater,

than we could possibly imagine.

Verbal Bullying by John/Take Back Your Life/Self-Confidence/Self-Awareness/Hope/Good Mental Health


 

Verbal Bullying

 

The verbal bullies can be brash and loud,

with their insulting, belittling, arrogant voice.

We may accept what they say in shrunken spirit,

or smile in splendid, disdainful silence for it is choice!

Wealth by John/Abundance/Understanding/Giving and Receiving/Self-Awareness



 

Wealth

 

My spirit is happy, warm, content and complete,

which I am sure you know is no mean feat!.

I have learned that physical wealth may come and go,

 and also that nothing can dimmish my inner glow.

 

True wealth is what I carry within my soul,

to use it for gain is not my goal.

It grows in value only when I responsibly share,

and it can only work if I truly care!
