Please me darling!

At times when
we want to please
all people
we make our lives
biggest mistake

we can't please each
and
every one of 7.5 billion,
if we can't please ourselves
who else

Well said!

Pleasing every one is simply the impossible mission.
I feel this needs a bit working to give it a more poetic voice
but perhaps it's only me.
Thanks for sharing.

no its not only you

it's my laziness
which drags along with me
and
then anchors all my poetry
