Hard To Love

by Gregory Snyder

Am I that hard to love?
Do I not show enough?
To have what I need.
To have what would complete me.

I know that I can be shy.
And I really am not sure why.
But what do you expect me to do?
Give me a chance and I will open up to you.

Just because I’m not yelling out loud.
When they’re all these people around.
Doesn’t mean I can’t make you smile,
Or make you laugh out loud for a while.

That’s what I was destined to do.
God put me on this earth to worship you.
But you didn’t give me the time of day.
You took your shots at me in every way.

So what if I talk in riddles & rhymes.
That’s just how things work in my mind.
And when I try to express them aloud.
You make me wish I never opened my mouth.

So, I just want to say fuck you.
I would have done whatever you wanted me to
I gave you my blood sweat & my tears.
Let down my walls and gave into my fears.

You took advantage, ripped the bandage right from my skin.
I should have learned, but I’m the fool who let you in.
So, I just want to say fuck you.
After all this time I have learned not to need you.




ABOUT THE POET ~
Just someone who likes to dabble in writing lyrics and poetry. I've always considered it a hobby, and have never taken it all that seriously... I enjoy it though.
