It's not that simple.

When one is harshly criticized for no reason at all.

It’s not that simple

It’s not that simple;

To be light and easy;

To let completely go of,

What other people think of you.

 

It’s not that simple,

To like and not be liked;

And yet to appear,

As if, none of it bothers you.

 

It’s not that simple,

To go on helping;

Even when, at the back of your mind,

You know, that they will never help you.

 

It’s not that simple,

To try and change wrong things;

And then, be harshly criticized,

For doing that too.

 

None of it is ever simple,

But neither impossible too.

For lots of pain, loads of work,

Could make the world much happier.

You did great I total nothing is ever that simple not even being human is all can do is try and do best you can keep up the good work

[Andrew M Parker]

I love this one, absolutely. Especially the last stanza. "None of it is ever simple,
But neither impossible too.
For lots of pain, loads of work,
Could make the world much happier."
It means so so much, but no one realizes this.

[Paul Bell]

Always think to myself. If you're doing your best, that's all that matters.
You get the doers, you get donots.

You said what is the fact...clearly...we are just humans slaves of ourselves...masters of unspoken words and slaves of spoken words...once said we can't change it...and there are only a fewer beings those who feel the sense of integrity...

[Meshalini]

Its not that simple to write a poem that will express our heart's content....
Good thinking....

You did very well in this poem.
"None of it is ever simple,
But neither impossible too.
For lots of pain, loads of work,
Could make the world much happier."
The flow of thoughts led to strong ending above. I agree. Nothing worthwhile is easy. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thank you 😊

It is not simple, I agree. Only so much a person can take before they feel like a worn stone against a tidal wave and yet, we keep going :) What other option is there...

[Akshita]
