Congratulations! Your trials, your tribulations, have been dismissed - poem
Your trials, your tribulations
have been dismissed.
The weight on your heart
has been lifted,
the aching and burning relieved.
Congratulations!
The deadlines, the expectations
shifted to
another lifetime.
No worries left.
You are free to be.
Free.
To be.
Who?
Now what will you ponder over?
Now what will you talk about?
Now where will you go,
how will you know
your self?
Congratulations!
Your trials, your tribulations
Have been dismissed.
Now how long, till you politely ask
till you insist
till you step up and claim
what is rightfully yours?
Can you imagine a life without worries, a happy life? Did you realise that many times, our worries are our occupation, our entertainment, that we use them for making sense of life and of ourselves? Use them for claiming our identity and our purpose (which is, overcoming our struggles and finding solutions to our problems)? I've seen myself doing it so many times - entertaining myself with worries that really don't require that (kind of) attention. We have to make peace with who we are without our problems, who we are without our pain. We have to look into the emptiness of not knowing ourselves without our patterns of fear and worry. Otherwise, we'll keep our problems and struggles in place, just for comforts sake!
Wanted to put this point out there in a different way, just to shake our brains a little ;). Hope you enjoyed the poem. I know that this post suggests that there is a (instant) way out of our problems and worries, and that we are holding on to those because somewhere we feel we benefit from them. I also know this might not be a perspective everyone shares, and would love to hear your comments and get the conversation going :). And whether you share the perspective or not, all blessings to all of you for experiencing your self apart from the struggles and pain with which we all tend to be so familiar!
Thank you for your comments, upvotes and follows!

Hi, I upvoted and I would like to apologize for my behavior. I have a post here for you and everyone here in this community. I hope you get to read it if you have time. Sorry again for my snarky reply. 😔

Hi! Read your post and left my comment :). I don't know if your apology was directed at me? In case yes, very much accepted. But also really, don't worry. I think maybe first I was a little shocked by your reply, then I thought about it and maybe I was in a place of giving unasked for advice, and it really is anyone's right to say thanks but no thanks. Anyways, your responses are appreciated and happy to have made a friend in the process :)
To you and to some followers, awwwww I'm so bad I know. 😌
Thanks for reading!
One cannot stay in either light or darkness forever. They need eachothers existence for harmony not just outside but also on the inside.
Great poem! Life is always filled with stress, however, its your perspective that will free you from that stress. The only way to stay stress free is to not take anything in life too serious and to just live through each day as it comes!
True! With seriousness, it's always our ego which is involved. The more we can laugh about life, the lighter we become :)
