It's never easy

It shouldn't be this hard..

I see how easy others have it, and I wish I could trade places with them.

I see how tough it is looking from the inside.

I don't know what the future has in store.

What is expected from the air, here and there?

Starting all over again, yet again I swear adulting isn't easy.

It shouldn't be so stressful, shouldn't be this rough.

But it is.

How do I hide how I feel inside?

Will she reach out?

I did nothing wrong.

The very definition of family is always helping one another.

I fear she will never see this and I am okay with this.
