It's Hard


You know it’s hard, To live with a disease That can keep you from Being so pleasant and at ease. You know it’s hard, When your chest starts to tighten And you feel like no one is there To help you breathe and feel enlightened. You know it’s hard, When you feel like everyone Who is trying to help you is against you And wants you to suffer. You know it’s hard, To put a smile on your face Through all the pain you’ve endured And still feel like a disgrace. You know it’s hard, To realize you’re slipping away That the one person you want You think they won’t stay. You know it’s hard, To want someone’s help But you’re too stubborn to realize You can’t do this by yourself. You know it’s hard, That you keep messing up And I’m sorries and promises Don’t seem to be enough. You know it’s hard, To love someone so much And all you want from them Is to be there and not give up. You know it’s hard, To keep living like this. Stop letting everything get to you And just live with bliss.
