The Hardest Part

Existing?
It's easy. No problems. Just don't die, and you exist.
Living?
It's harder. Still easy, though. Just do something, and you live.

Hate?
It's easy. It's not hard to find something you can't stand.
Love?
It's harder. You have to give up your complete control; share it now.

The hardest part?
It's smiling at your dad.
Doesn't sound so hard?
I'm not done.
The hardest part is smiling at your dad; and knowing he has no idea who you are.
The hardest part is smiling at your dad; and know that he'll never understand you.
The hardest part is watching the news and trying not to cry because people in New York are in love;
And he scoffs at the TV.
The hardest part?
It's not existing.
It's not living.
It's not hate.
It's not love.
The hardest part-
It's this.
