Hard
By WhiteKnight


A soft hum fills the air
Don’t despair
Even though life isn’t fair

Sometimes it’s hard to see what’s here
As we live in fear
Who knows?
Terrorist might be near
Who’ll watch the rear?

Open your eyes
Look inside
Don’t run and hide

What is there to fear?
Letting others near?
Someone might see
That I am just me
And not some hero to be

Who knows you
When you’re feeling blue?
When the tears are falling
Will you let them see?
No, not me
I want to flee

Why do you hide?
Why won’t you let them inside?
What will it hurt?
Will you feel like dirt?

Do you worry that they may see
The person you really are
Not the person you pretend to be?
Don’t worry it’s not too far
Don’t keep your soul in a jar

Open up your heart
Let them inside
Just a little to start

Learn to trust
It’s a must
Don’t let life be a bust.

Life is hard
“I’ve lost all hope”
Don’t be a dope

Let them in
You can only win
Your friends care
They’re not here to scare
They’re here to share.
If you dare.

Trust is a 2way street...sometimes when trust is broken it takes a long time to trust anyone else again. I really liked this!
