      May 13, 2017Ahunna Ike-NjokuIt’s Just So Hard

      It’s just so hard
      to think straight
      when someone keeps banging
      on the gate
      It’s just so hard to keep smiling
      when your loved one is dying
      It’s just so hard to live your life
      when you know someone is there to spy
      It’s just so hard to stop being curious
      when you don’t know what makes your baby sister furious
      It’s just so hard to be happy
      when your parents are being bossy
      It’s just so hard to say “hi”
      to someone who is not nice
      It’s just so hard to fight
      for what you believe is right
      It’s just so hard to say bye to someone
      you will not see in a long time
      But do you ever try?

      from 2017 RYPA
