"Some things will never change"---Tupac


It's hard to stand up
When you realize you have no support
It's hard to sit down
When you have nothing to catch you

It's hard to think
When bad thoughts has taken over
It's hard to choose
When you don't know right from wrong

It's hard to smile
When the pain is pounding inside
It's hard to laugh
When all you do is cry

It's hard to believe
When you hear so many lies
It's hard to trust
When there's no one in which you can rely

It's hard to love
With a broken heart
It's hard to be strong
When you're falling apart

The opportunities in life are that which takes us away from normality.

Yeah, it really does; there is emotion held within this piece that i think most of us teens can relate to. Excellent work.

this is really amazing. i loved the emotion. one suggestion: in the fourth stanze, maybe "on whom you can rely" rather than "in which"

Your descriptions catch anyone off guard. The greif that is enveloped in this poem is real. I love it. I like reading something that brings out a little emotion in me. This piece certainly did that. It makes the reader remember a time in their life that they stood on shaky ground. Congrats on the emotion in this one.

True.. I love this. You're very good at letting people understand something that most would have trouble describing.
