Why Tell Me?

You come to me with your tales and troubles of woe. Why me I am not your local Priest, I am not a psychiatrist. Not even your schoolteacher. In fact I am like you just a no one. Living a mundane life hoping that I will win on the lotto, even if it is only a few hundred pounds. I tell myself every time I fill a lottery ticket out that this will be the big one that I have waited for all of my life. I once heard as a very young boy that everyone has a bit of luck sometime or another in his/her life. I am still waiting. Please go away I have enough problems of my own. Go and complain to another perhaps he/she will be able to help you. I cannot, why I cannot even help myself.

Wait a minute what are your problems that you want to burden me with them? Has someone told you that I have an open ear and can and will help you? You know as one gets older one does not get wiser. That is what I too was told in my early years. I am older but I doubt if I am wiser. I cannot see in me an Albert Einstein or even a Genius not even a budding Genius. So why on earth do you bring all of your troubles to me? Tell me if you can how I can be of help, I am more or less penniless; I have no rich bank account overflowing with money. I cannot help you with money problems. As for advice I am not the right person. I have made too many mistakes in my life, No I cannot be of any help to you or anyone else.

My Grandmother for example now that was a very wise woman, she would have and could have with ease sort out most problems that her neighbours came to her with. Or even the old Vicar the one that passed away last Friday. Now that was really a good man he was a master for helping anyone in need or with problems. I am not a match for these people I wish I was it must feel good to be able to help someone with problems. Have you been to the Citizens Advice Bureaux they might be able to sort out many of your problems? I myself have never been to see them most of my problems have turned out to be in my head and they have with time sorted themselves out. The only advice that I feel qualified to tell you is go home go to bed and have a good nights sleep, in the morning you will awake and find that what today is a problem will tomorrow just be an ungood thing that you have blown up into a huge balloon. I wish you luck and hope that your problems will sort themselves out as I have said I am not the person that is able to sort out problems. I am just a scribbler that calls himself Bern. Good luck and hopefully a good nights sleep.
