Losing Battle

You don't want to hurt anyone

Yet people get hurt

You don't want to give any false hopes

Yet they get built

You try and keep everything simple

Yet things get complicated beyond your comprehend

You try to be a good friend

Yet not everyone will be ready for friendship

You try to understand them

Yet they pay you a deaf ear

You try to avoid the unnecessary rifts

Yet people gift you those in huge numbers

All you want is peace

Yet you don't get any

Life isn't for you to understand all the time

Forgo this losing battle

Don't look for validation from outside

Know your story

Stay right

Don't explain

Don't plead

Peace will come to you, wherever you are

Stay humble

Focus on your path

Spread smiles across...
