I thought that I had learned how to defend myself
but I’m an infant in the dark
And every time I come alive
I’m pulled aside and a voice tells
me that it’s gonna be too hard
Hard
I thought that someday
I would wake up feeling different
I still don’t have a credit card
I’m hollowed out from all the failures that compound
just to remind me
it will always be too hard
Hard
Heavier than concrete and I
shook the ground with every somersault
and so I threw away all of the things I didn’t need
Sometimes it feels like everyone I know has learned all of the steps
and I'm just stumbling
wondering if it will ever be
less hard
