Silly

Silly it is, to take life seriously -
Better for us to take it hilariously;

Silly it is, to carry the weight of unwanted pressure,
When life itself, is meant to be lived with pleasure.

Silly it is, to let words of others, affect you -
Better for us to just let them flow through;

Silly it is, to want to be thought of, as perfect,
When our beauty lies in being perfectly imperfect.

Silly it is, to get over-worked and stressed -
Better for us to take it slow, with a rest;

Silly it is, to expect recognition and respect,
When our own needs, we often neglect.
