Another Realization

It's hard to love someone,

when you think they don't love you back.

It's hard to trust someone,

when you think they're just going to  betray you the first chance they get.

It's near impossible to live life with fear,

paranoia,

neurosis,

and past experiences.

Sometimes life has that defect on me.

The world is a hard place to live in when all you remember is the pain,

rather than the joy.

Beautiful poem Emily, you have expressed your emotions wonderfully. Just always remember that its the hard times that make us stronger. "the bad times will always lead to the good and the good times are the ones we remember with love"
beautiful writing Emily, I realy like it.

when we carry so much baggage, it is hard to move forward with any hope...i like the line "sometimes life has that defect on me"

because it does feel like a defect.
