Premium MemberLIFE IS HARD

I don’t remember the shower
unless the glass shatters
into smithereens
I slip on the soap
of sudsy shards
Life is hard
the walls press in
white and smooth
as if a crowd’s haranguing me
Life is hard
with choices of a cloth
or bar to rub over the rough spots
I cry
when the water’s too hot
Life is hard
when the faucet’s turned off
and the dirt is baked on
and my feet stick to one spot
over the drain
Life is hard
Life is easy too
when cool water runs
over my shoulders
cascading
calming
Life is uplifting too
when the tears abate
instead lather my hair
with suds of laughter
Life is a clear day
I can see eternity
I can see my way out
The misty doors open
Feet are daisy fresh
Life is hard
Life is easy too

Premium MemberLife Is Hard

Life is hard! The college coed said.
The finals were horrible, agreed her pal, Ned.
They signed up to go to a third world country for “fun”.
Chosen as number thirty, and thirty-one.

The plane ride was horrible! The college coed said.
No food at all, and the movie was dead!
They watched the African women collect water from a stream.
Where are the faucets? Indoor plumbing? They asked their team.

The African women had to walk ten miles a day.
At the age of seven, they had learned to give up all play.
Life is not so bad the college coed said on the way home.
They didn’t even have an I-pad or a cell phone!

Life Is Hard But So Very Beautiful

Nothing comes on a silver platter,
No part of life is a bed of roses,
No path in life is straight,
Down we go up we go,
Maneuvering the meanders.

However I have the better word,
You can make your bed of roses,
Cleverly and sagaciously you can do it,
With prayers your problems are eased.

Life is so unfair,
We get love and love back,
Tomorrow we get heartbroken,
With tears we tear down ,
Knowing not what to do.

Our future  always illuminated,
Well lit and promising,
We fall in the hand of Mr and Mrs Right,
Out love rejuvenated and strengthened,
Our God must be very clever.

Forsaken and left alone by our families,
Called names and looked down upon,
Out of our families we go,
To seek refuge and asylum,
In the hands of the strangers.

We make friends that become family,
The source of our joy and renaissance,
Gathering ideas and concepts,
Our ways of changing to the better,
The beauty part of life.

Life Is Hard

Life is hard
but not so far, 
dreams comes true,
need to speed up ur car. 
Ups nd downs
Jerks nd jolts
Let's tighten up ur belt, 
don't you knelt
moves round round
on the life's ground. 

Once you win
raise up their chin
praises of kin
those people made din. 

Life is a test
do your best, 
Problems nd miseries
not little bit
let's think over it
work like a kid
to get rid of it.

Life Is Hard At Times

Reality is slowly kicking in,
My head is in such a massive spin,
I’m staying positive and hoping for something new to begin,
I just need to learn to take everything on the chin,

My head is still coming to terms with everything,
Nobody knows what’s around the corner and what it may bring,
I will do absolutely anything,
Specially sit there listening to my music and just sing,

This is how I express my feelings and emotion,
But I’ll tell you all something I still have a lot of motivation,
Everyone keeps telling me how proud they are and that I am such a massive inspiration,
For me to keep getting through this awful situation,

I’ve seen good days and I’ve seen bad,
I’ve also been sometimes mad,
But I’d just like to add,
I’m going to come out of this stronger and stop letting people make me sad.

Life Is Hard

Am not saying I want to die
But I don’t want to live as well
Why its so harsh
Why it too hard
Am not saying am tired
But it hurts every time I breathe.

Life Is Hard For Us All

Life is hard for us all
Challenges we will face each day 
It is a big dance
Obstacles are there in every way
We rise to take the matter on hand
There is a lot to do
Nothing is ever easy
We as people, must guide our way through

Premium MemberLife Is Hard Enough

Raised bucolic and pedantic
Nothing taken for granted
Dreams are for dreamers
Life is hard
Lessons learned came heavy handed

Fathered by the Golden Rule
Taught to be nobody's fool
Schemes are for schemers
Life is hard
Wits are the logical tool

Breaking from family tradition
Always raising suspicion
Teach the teacher
Life is hard
High price for independent rendition

Days turn into years
Happiness drowns in tears
Believe a believer
Life is hard
Failure is not a career

Death Is Easy, Life Is Hard

The chill night air sings through my veins.
The Moon's great face hides from me,
As dark as a thousand midnights.
Death is easy, Life is hard.

During the blackest hours of the night,
The true darkness in my soul shines through.
The cruel memories held at bay during daylight,
Burst through like raging demons.

Clawing through my brain and heart,
Mangled gray matter in their wide grins.
Gleefully torment me in my dreams,
Nightmares flowing with crimson blood.

Screams tear from my throat,
As I bolt, clawing from my dreams.
The cold moves through my soul.
Death is easy, Life is hard.

Life Is Hard

when life out there gets too hard
and the pain gets too sharp
and the hurt never ends
I'll be wanting to come back
home to you

would you open the door
would you let me in
I act so strong
but I'm weak from sin

no questions, no lies
hold me while I close my eyes
kiss the tears, touch my hair
sometimes life makes mo sense

Life Is Hard...

Life is hard
money is tight
I close my eyes and hide
defeated
illness, sadness, death all around
depression, separation, ugliness, truth
parents getting older, 
uncertainty most certain
dont grab those if onlys, we will weaken
and we haven't much left

such a dream we had to retire
in comfort
now its gone
what will we do.....
