It is hard (Poem)

It is hard to face a pain,

When you don't know why;

You are in pain

Or where that pain has come from.

How I want to sleep a peaceful sleep,

To have a mind at rest and uncluttered.

To have a heart that does not beat;

Loud and hurting.

It is hard to talk,

When you don't know who to talk to

Or whether anyone would listen

Or if anyone would care even.

How I want that sleep,

How I want my mind to rest; uncluttered.

To have a heart that does beat;

Loud and un-hurting.

It is hard to cry,

When you are cold inside.

Oh God, I want to cry.

Oh God, I want.
