It’s hard to not look back
When someone is calling out your name
It’s hard to not feel guilty
When you have yourself to blame
It’s hard to not shed a tear
When you have lost everything that you have got
It’s hard to not stay icy cool
When the sun is blazing hot
It’s hard to not stay quiet
When the world is silent and still
It’s hard to not struggle
When you are held against your will
It’s hard to not surprise someone
When you show up unexpected
It’s hard not to break down and cry
When you alone
Are not accepted
It’s hard to not hate others
When you are completely despised
In this world
It’s hard to not be gender racist
When you’re playing
“Boys against the girls”
It’s hard to pay attention
When you’re being bothered
By somebody on your side
It’s hard to not come out and confess
When you ran away to hide
It’s hard to not judge someone
When they are different from yourself
It’s hard to maintain a relationship
When you are flirting with someone else
It’s hard to not feel lonely
When no one else is around
It’s hard to not look up
When the world is crashing down
It’s hard to be brutally honest
When the truth is hidden inside
It’s hard to be someone else
When you are different inside your mind
It’s hard not to lose faithfulness
When you’re racing against time
It’s hard to let others know
That it is really hard sometimes
(this is probably my new favorite poem)
