Your Poetry Dot Com - Life isn't easy

Laughing and playing
Having lots of fun
Only worrying about roleplaying

You tell me I’ll grow up
That I’ll get over the fear
You tell that It’ll be fine
And that you’ll always be here

Next thing you know
Ten years have gone
And I lay awake
Not wanting it to be dawn

Get up and go
And live your life
That’s what you say
Which causes us the strife

You are confused
You don’t understand
The way I live my life
It’s not what you planned

You watch me worry
I stress and cry
You sit and wait
Not knowing if you should pry

You question my anger
You want to know why
You see I’m not happy
And I’ve stopped wanting to try

You tell me to grow up
To get over the fear
You tell that I’m fine
And things aren’t always as they appear

I want to believe you
I really, really do
But it’s not always that easy
When you are feeling so blue

The fearful anxiety
The tiring depression
And the Feeling of failure
Are not just an expression

When will it get better
When will I feel free
I want to be strong
And as grounded as a tree

I need it to end
I need to be free
And I think my whole family
All would agree

Now I’m twenty-two
And all I have to say
Life isn’t easy
But it helps if you pray

I am five years’ old

And all I have to say
Life isn’t easy
But it helps if you pray
