You Can't Make Everybody Happy
When Happy Is A State Of Mind
Surrender doesn't always come easy
sometimes the battle wants more
A balancing act tween' vexed and appeasing
*
Sometimes the choice needs upheaving
letting go of the way it was done
Surrender doesn't always come easy
*
When the timing is timed, moments fleeting
new ways, easily will adapt
A balancing act tween' vexed and appeasing
*
The charmer makes it seem easy-peasy
making light work of what others despise
Surrender doesn't always come easy
*
When delivering words of dissention
simply speaking, it's best to be true
Otherwise, it is wise, not to mention
*
When settling scores, don't get cheesy
mind your manners, and keep it on track
Surrender doesn't always come easy
A balancing act tween' vexed and appeasing

Definitely doesn't come easy. Good writing!
Love the poem, though you used the villanelle form for all but the 15th line (& 13th). I have to admit to being curious about that.
Balance is definitely the most important thing. Fantastic Villanelle!
Quite the decision.
Yup, definitely a balancing act. Perfectly said.
"Surrender doesn't always come easy"- you are right, it doesn't! Great poem
