Easy As It Looks

Easy to get along with except with myself Kind and supportive to everyone else Outwardly auspicious while inwardly flagitious Gentle and sweet in everyone's books But being me isn't as easy as it looks

If being kind to ourselves were easy life would be awesome. Nice poem, Maureen.

This is really clever Maureen... we are most critical of ourselves sometimes. Happy Valentines! :)

Not casting aspersions, but life is what you make it, or what others make it for you, isn't that how the cliche goes? A nice piece of 'light poetry', Maureen. Regards, Mick
