Don’t Take Life So Seriously

Worried

How to love oneself almost no one really knows.
You may have been running around trying to find
Other people to love you. You stand on your head
In all different kinds of ways but you instead
Of love from them get nothing. Then you are inclined
To feel badly and keep yourself in the shadows.

“If I’m like this will you like me? What if I do
This for you? Will that matter? What more can I give
To attain your acceptance?”
Don’t act in this way

Unless you want to live life in utter dismay.
You need nothing from others in order to live
A fulfilling life. Nothing’s the matter with you.

So you kind of lose track of who you are truly.
The more you look to others to love you the more
Out of sync you become with your own beingness.
Neediness is something you don’t need to express
When the core of yourself is who you’re looking for.
Think always about how wonderful life can be.

Don’t take the biggest issue and try to make it
Work out for you. Relax and take life easier
And just try to become lighthearted about things.
Focus only on things that tug at your heartstrings.
You can have things occurring the way you’d prefer.
Keep your vibration one that you want to transmit.

A New Place

Distant Horizon

I’m alone with this person. Myself is its name.
Other people know of it. I know not a thing.
In the distant horizon that calls unto me
I can see the potential to absolutely
Be relieved of my troubles. My longing can bring
Only more desolation, and I am to blame.

Into the equation, I am introducing
Resistance inadvertently. This may be why
That I feel that my world is caving in on me.
At this point I want nothing more than to be free
Of this mission. It seems that the harder I try,
The more negative karma I keep producing.

Escapism is not a career building trait
Nor is it a good technique for getting along
With others. The next logical step then must be
Reemergence – not in terms of fatality.
Everything within me tells me that would be wrong.
Thoughts collide and keep me in a negative state.

Now, a good crisis hotline person would tell me
That I’m not such a screw up, and that may be true.
I can find reassurance by going within
Where A New Place absolves my original sin
Of existence. There’s much here that I’ve left to do.
Like everyone here, I have a reason to be.

Don’t Take Life So Seriously

No Mental Struggle

Almost no one knows really, it is sad to say,
How to love themselves because they’re running around
Attempting to find others to love them instead.
They will do what it takes – even stand on their head
To elicit the worthiness they haven’t found
In themselves. They believe it has to be this way.

You can change the way you are to please other folk.
It’s a high price to pay for a thing not of worth
In the purest sense. People are fickle and vain
And your sucking up to them will drive you insane.
The pain of pleasing others is worse than childbirth.
Only great disappointment from them you’ll evoke.

People feel the vibrations of certain others
At a subconscious level so what they can sense
Is your confounded neediness. Then they control
Your behavior and eventually your soul.
The damage to who you are is grossly immense.
You will be the victim in whatever occurs.

Do not take the biggest issue that you can find
Then attempt to work with it. Take things that are small
And become more lighthearted. Do not watch tv.
Be with people who are real and happen to be
Interested in you. You will not please them all.
Life is not all that serious when you’re aligned.

Don’t Take It Seriously

Levity Is In Order

Why do I take my living so seriously,
Finding pleasure in nothing but playing the game
Of pretend satisfaction? I live not at ease
Because I waste my focus on people to please.
Finding joy within oneself cannot be the same.
It’s the most wholesome origin ever to be.

Sourness, the byproduct of people pleasing,
Permeates my existence. An ever presence
Is the tartness of taste, feeling that I must sell
My perfected self proudly. I don’t do that well.
Peddling of one’s true self comes at the harsh expense
Of addiction to always ever appeasing.

“If I smile will you love me? Suppose I tap dance
As I juggle three Rubik’s cubes while solving them?”

This compulsive behavior is what makes life hard,
And it needs to be looked at. If I’m more on guard
To my slipping into that mode, I’ll find the gem
Of enlightenment relative to circumstance.

The more I look to others for love, the more I
Am not in sync with who I am most truthfully.
Solving not the big issues, I shine at the small.
In becoming more lighthearted, the less I fall
To the favor of others. And ultimately,
I’m as worthy as ever and shall always be.
