It’s Too Hard

There’s a phrase she’s heard entirely too much lately
A phrase she’s used a lot over her span on this earth
that when spoken at least in her mind conveys a sense of hopelessness  
Hopelessness that leads one on a journey down
a long dark path with no sign of light to mark its end  

 

While she will agree there are times and places
when this dark sense will grip ones heart  seeming
as if it may never let go
To those she’d like to say she’s been there
one day your pain will ease and you will
smile without knowing you’re doing so

To those who use it’s too hard as an expression to
get out of situations they don’t want to be in
She has one question
How will you ever learn the lessons you need in this life
if you never push yourself beyond your comfort zone
in turn gaining the strength you may need in time?
Pain is a great teacher at least it has been for her
