It Is Hard To:

It is Hard to Hear
Harsh words
Without any loving cushion.
Sad eyes
With nothing to look forward to.
Backstabbing confusion
When all you wanted
Was a partner.
It is harder to see
The end
Of what you thought
Would be forever.
The truth rises
Out of the ashes
And tomorrow vanishes.
Alone with someone
Is the worst
Kind of alone.
Realizing you chose
Poorly
Impulsive to the whims of youth.
Now, it is so hard to pay
Back yourself
Step out off the chewing gum heels
Stretching and snapping denial.
It is Hard to be human
Perhaps, just a creature of this earth
Alone in a jungle
Of colliding souls,
Aimless and awkward
Aging ungracefully.
The wheels
Are fighting with the brakes,
Antagonized and taunted
By what you thought you told yourself.
