An Ode to the Perpetually Butthurt (First World Problems, I am sure there is a Yoga Pose for That!)
There are real problems in the world and being Butthurt on Steemit shouldn't be one of them....
A garbage dump in the Ocean twice the size of Texas, Schools that can not protect students, Starvation and Revolution and people struggling to make ends meet.......BUT LET US BE OFFENDED AT EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT EXACTLY HOW WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE AND THEN COMPLAIN BECAUSE THAT SOLVES THINGS!

Your First World Problems make me sick...
whine and moan but who's the prick?
Some have no water but stagger on
laboring from dusk till dawn
Your First World issues of who I date
are nunya biz, it's simply fate
My problems are mine and not on you
I'm strong as steel and bounce back like glue...
Own your crap and buck on up
this isn't High School buttercups...
As countries rage and people die
your biggest issue is Gluten Pie?
Your First World Problems are limp at best
life is hard, a hornets nest...
Butthurt only goes to show
some are Snowflakes and others Snow
(there are 99 real issues in the world and splitting hairs to indulge the "self-help" industry is laughable)
@battleaxe "the struggle is real"

Wow, such powerful words put simply , amazing i hope world becomes a better place
-What do you wanna be when you grow up?
-@BattleAxe!
-But that's not a job.
-It's not?!!
It SO IS a job , lol :) ha haaaaaa
How did I not see this until now?
In a world full of snowflakes, be a hot summer day.
LOL! I was just thinking I need a NSFSF button... "Not safe for snow flakes" and there you go insulting snowflakes with no warning...
Oh, and I think this is the yoga pose, and it explains why their butts hurt too:

haha, sums it up
haha!
Your ode spoke to my heart. 😎
Thank you @battleaxe. I think sometimes we need to be reminded of what really is important and what is not. And your Poem so nicely conveys that :)
Nicely penned.
How long did you take to write this?
I wish I was as good in writing odes.
I like Odes and Initiatives, it just depends on the time issue, not sure as some take me forever and some just flow on out.....
haha! I loved this! What a great way to bring some light to the complaints of those who don't have a clue of what "a hard day" truly is. I used to get squawked at by my Mother when she would complain incessantly and I'd tell her that people walk 10 miles, each way, to get water each day and that whatever she's saying is so horrible is not a drop in their bucket. I think she referred to my comments as 'psycho babble' but I think the rest of the World calls that 'practice gratitude.' ;) Thank you for this reminder, practicing gratitude and compassion can help us live in the moment and realize just how wonderful that moment is.
Hmmn
It lies in the hands of individual to make his own hustle real himself
The struggle is really real!!!
that it is
You said "...EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT EXACTLY HOW WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE AND THEN COMPLAIN BECAUSE THAT SOLVES THINGS!" and my question is what does your post solve?
jackshit...just like most of my posts EXCEPT for the ones on my blog where I donate and help carry out projects to feed people, clothe them and help out animal rescues.....
hope that clears things up :) <3
Do you question why the rain falls? Do you question why the sun shines?
Why question what battleaxe is?
She is rain. She is sunshine. There are no 'answers'. Only what is.
I question all those things. I question every question. I like to know how and why things happen. I am a curious being. Am I wrong for questioning? Right or wrong I will still question because truth is what I seek.
The feminine is the truth of the now and present moment.
My truth is not your truth and my ways are not your ways.
I can see.....
You are the contrarian. The Devil's Advocate. That which opposes.
All is revealed in your actions.
If that is your truth then it is not me who is to tell you that you are wrong. I cannot teach but only help you explore your self.
I appreciate your generosity of spirit.
hello chaos my old friend, I've come to make out with you again.......
all IS revealed in actions, AMEN....so here were some of my recent actions, I went out on a realllly nice dinner and had a really nice time with a nice person, it was super fun.....then I wanted to find ladies products and the place had nothing but stuff for men (which is bullshit) so I apparently brought up this glaring disparity and guess butthurt and got butthurt but then everything was okay and <3 and I finished a Creme Brule' dessert and went to bed wearing nothing but a shirt that said "Coffee , so I can tolerate people" (something along those lines)
fast forward, woke up wrote post about butthurt, all questions are answered in the actions
tips fedora to @seablue
What an exciting journey. :-D
Yeah it does not solve anything but I do not think that was her purpose. She is just making Observations from her point of view about the World. and putting it in a artistic context with this Poem. Nothing wrong with that at all
I agree with it not being wrong. And I agree that solving something may not have been her purpose. I simply asked that question because complaining seemed to be an irritation and I saw that poem as perspective. But this perspective seemed to be complaining about the people who complain.
It was
