Simplicity

The simple things in life are the ones i enjoy the most. Short sweet and simple is the way I like things to be. But truley nothing is really simple. Even the word. Simplicity. How do you know the meaning? This word has ten letters. Four sylibles. This is a big word for such a.... well simple meaning. But then again what is the meaning of simple? If you look at the definition you can break that down and then that you can break down and so on until who knows when? Some people think a reflection is a simple thing. But how is it simple if you are actully seeing something behind you without turning around? Flowers are simple things aren't they? Even the way in how they are not truely living, yet they are. Right? And the way they know how to open to the world in the morning and hide away at night without a brain or program. So let me ask you this.

 

Is anything really.....simple?

Good Question! I have enjoyed reading this thought provoking piece.
I have a few suggestions/corrections:

"But (truley) nothing is really simple." ~ truly
"Four (sylibles)" ~ syllables
"But how (if) it simple..." ~ how (is) it
"they are not (truely) living, yet they are" ~ truly

Nice job! Thank you for sharing!

You are a deep thinking young woman with a lot to say and a lot of feeling inside you! Keep writing! I enjoy your thoughts.

Really liked this L.O.L. For one so young to have such a keen mind and insight into the Human soul is wonderful You show the reader something so complex that is defined as easy to understand, yet, you are so right, nothing is simple even simplicity itself!!!

"Some people think a reflection is a simple thing. But how if it simple if you are actually seeing something behind you without turning around?"

I really liked that line as I did the whole poem.

I will give you the ultimate Poet's compliment: I wish I wrote it.

Great job! Outstanding write.

I think the answer is no :), because every thing around is composed by tiny bits made by various substances. As for feelings�they are based only on perceptions that can sometimes be far from the truth � can that be called simple?
But I guess that you can call a thing simple as compared to a more complex one :)).
It was interesting. I really liked the idea you described here.
Thx for sharing.

Lots of wisdom and very true. Simple is really complicated, if really was simple we would think it was stupid and not worth our time. What we are really talking about is something natural and practical, not abstract or artificial.
This conveys that idea very well. Great writing
