It would be so much easier to give up here and now, <br />But I still stand here planted and pliant somehow. <br />This naive nonchalance is neither here nor there; <br />Sometimes the strength to stand is a heavy load to bear. <br /> <br />It would be so much easier to never think about, <br />But I still stand here trusting and trying to figure out. <br />This passage of time past is neither here nor there; <br />And sometimes endless love is more than I can bear. <br /> <br />It would be so much easier, in love, to never fall, <br />But I still stand here hoping that I'm your all in all.<br /><br />Roshni D'Souza<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-would-be-so-much-easier/
