My World
By Frank Bolaji Irawo
Boy O boy
So alone
So my memory goes
Where did they all go
If they were there
Why was I all alone
Did I go and they remain
What a bulletproof world
I built back there
I was in and no one else
A world safe enough for only me
There is an invitation to discover that we are more than we or others think, much more
The journey within is the most valuable one as it is the route to making peace with who we are and recognising that the answers are within us.
Looking within opens the door to inner transformation which transforms your relationships rather than projecting them onto others
When we look deep within to the essence of who we are, we will find out we are love and that is the perfect antidote to fear
There is nothing you can do out there that will make you enough, the journey within will unveil that you are already enough

How does it feel to be with yourself and reflect?
Predictable life
By Frank Bolaji Irawo
The nature of things
Are unpredictable still
Get comfortable with this
Not about to change soon
Once you do
Your experience of life
Gets to be
Much more predictable
The mind is afraid of the unknown so it resists change
Your core of love is predictable and always Okay
Believing that the universe is a loving supportive place supports embracing the unpredictable reality of the nature of things
Adventure is the love reframe of the fear of change
When everything outside of you changes it can feel daunting, Reach deep within and recognise your true essence remains as an anchor to no longer fear the unknown but rather look forward to it with pleasant anticipation
Work on yourself to recognise that in your true essence, you are safe and secure there so that you can be grounded in the unpredictable nature of everything else that is outside your control
Once we break through the illusion of control and live into the reality of the unpredictability of the future we reduce the amount of suffering we experience from trying to control the uncontrollable

What changes have you been resisting and how can you reframe them into an adventure?
Aggression
By Frank Bolaji Irawo
It's coming at me
Certainly not cuddly
Judged it unpleasant
Get it away from me
I'm moving and jumping
I want no part of it
By now so adept at
Aggressive escapism
All too familiar
This scene plays
On repeat
Stagnating in
Ignorance
As I evade
My appointed
Teacher
Finally I take
The path ahead
Enlightened by
Experience unfolding
In trusting the universe
To surrender aggression
Aggression appears when we are not okay with what we have or where we want to be and we keep rejecting what is there
Acceptance that what you have now and who you are now is everything you need and that you are on the path - diffuses the aggression towards what is not right for you
Aggression from others might be an indication that something is not understood about themself and others
Resisting your chosen teacher is a form of subtle aggression - You don't get a pass, you retake the lesson till you embody it
The only way out is to trust the universe, embrace your teacher and learn by taking the path that unfolding before you
Let me know what comes up for you when you reflect on the poem.
What lessons in your present circumstances have you been missing?
Breaking
By Frank Bolaji Irawo
Pressure so intense
I fear breaking
A destiny
I doubt surviving
Yet it keeps on
Coming
More resistance
More pressure
Then it happens
A desperate push
Too far
I 'break' and wait
Expecting the worst
Then light enters in
I see broken shell
I am still here, aware
My true essence
Infinitely loving
Unbreakable
As always
Life can be unpredictable - There are good days and bad days
We are more resilient than we think - Trust that you can handle what comes
You are not your feelings - sometimes you feel okay, sometimes you don't but in your deepest essence you have always been okay and that is what you return to when the "not okay" feeling lifts
We like the waves break several times a day but we remain okay deep down - We learn to release suffering and experience being okay again
Breaks can be great circuit breakers to avoid all-out burnout - Let them in, and you can survive them all
Let me know what comes up for you when you reflect on the poem.
