Writing Resources from Fifteen Minutes of Fiction

Hardly.

It hardly seems possible
To know someone you don't.
But I find so often
That is what I feel,
Though just as often I am wrong.

It hardly seems sensible
To wish for something you wouldn't want.
But I find so often
That is what I think,
Though I know I am wrong.

It hardly seems right
To say the things I say.
But I find so often
My words are cruel,
Though my thoughts are not.

It hardly seems real
To think of the future.
But I find so often
That is where my mind is,
Though it scares me so.

It hardly seems bad
To laugh a little at life in general.
But I find so often
It is hard to do,
And others don't understand.

It hardly seems fair
To live by their expectations.
So I try not to as often,
Even though it is difficult,
And I'm the better for it.
