TRY TO SATISFY

Bringing up some inner need ,following along taking exact steps of an unwritten creed

Many start early ,yet so many ways to play will there be a hidden cost or who will have to pay

For some, that ever present grin balanced above their chin,was it to hide something  to easily give the others a lead

Remaining quiet in the corner as an obscure foreigner ,not attracting attention is their greatest relief for the day

Stuck in the middle but not trying hard to solve a riddle, some are more apt to worry for others or to help those in need

Back to the beginning who or what are we trying to truly gratify, is it a game of predator and prey

Early days we easily play then rules help set patterns that we must obey,lay low or get caught up in the stampede

Conforming or self absorbing who are we really helping to make happy when we play

With what actions will we receive the best reactions ,who are we trying to please when we succeed

So as we play the game who will we really please, loving ourselves or living to appease
either way there will always be someone to repay .R.C.
Not sure why this came about ,but how do we balance pleasure? or why are we happy? for our own benefit? or to make another happy too? a lot of ways to think on this? spend so much time trying to please another never even realizing you can be happy just for yourself,often learned in hindsight for some or for some finding a way out of depression knowing they can be happy with just a simple thing for no reason at all?   Maybe lost track a bit but the thought was there.  Thank you for reading your thoughts are helpful .
