It Hurts

By Rebeccca King

    It hurts to laugh.
    It hurts to cry.
    It hurts to smile.
    But it’s easy to lie.

    It hurts to talk.
    It hurts to sigh.
    It hurts to yell.
    But it’s easy to die.

    It hurts to think.
    It hurts to try.
    It hurts to whisper.
    It’s hard to say bye.
