Life is hard


Life is hard.

Every one knows.

Life is scary.

Thats just how it goes.

Life is too short.

We don't get much time.

Life is so burdened.

But you'll be just fine.

We tell ourselves lies.

We sit down and pout.

When all we may need.

Is to get up and out.

Life is hard.

This we all know.

But we don't have to fear it.

Just because we're told so.
