It’s hard to be inconspicuous when you’re hanging upside down

It’s hard to say you’re happy when you’re still wearing a frown

It’s hard to love your brother and it’s hard to miss your mom

It’s hard to call your best friend and tell him “you’re the one”

It’s hard to be a smartass and it’s hard to be a dunce

It’s hard to get a therapist and it’s harder to need one

“It’s hard to be a lesbian but it’s harder to be black”

it’s hard to live on the internet

with controversies like that

It’s hard to fall in love again and it’s hard to stick around

but you know what’s hardest of all?

It’s hard to write poems at night

When you’re hanging upside down
