Not Hard

they always say that

like I’m difficult

I’m not

I’m not hard, I’m just not easy

you gotta show me if you really mean it

I don’t move fast, I move when it’s right

I don’t do wrong just to say it’s mine

I’m not hard, I just know what I need

I don’t accept what don’t match me

you call it hard, I call it clear

I just don’t keep what don’t stay here

I don’t rush just to say I got something

I don’t settle just to feel like I’m chosen

I don’t answer just because you called

I don’t bend just to make it feel normal

I don’t do halfway, I don’t play roles

I don’t force what I already know

If it’s real, it’ll show on its own

I don’t chase what don’t come close

I don’t fill space just to say it’s filled

I don’t entertain what don’t feel real

I don’t lower just to keep you around

I don’t hold what don’t hold me down

I’m not hard, I’m just not easy

you gotta show me if you really mean it

I don’t move fast, I move when it’s right

I don’t do wrong just to say it’s mine

I’m not hard, I just know what I need

I don’t accept what don’t match me

you call it hard, I call it clear

I just don’t keep what don’t stay here

They be quick to label what they don’t get

call it too much when it don’t fit

I don’t argue, I just step back

I don’t explain what I meant, I meant that

I don’t shrink just to make it land

I don’t lower just to understand

If it don’t align, I let it go

I don’t drag what I already know

I don’t second guess what I already felt

I don’t override myself

I don’t need it to prove itself twice

once is enough if I see it right

I’m not hard, I’m just not easy

you gotta show me if you really mean it

I don’t move fast, I move when it’s right

I don’t do wrong just to say it’s mine

I’m not hard, I just know what I need

I don’t accept what don’t match me

you call it hard, I call it clear

I just don’t keep what don’t stay here

It’s a difference they don’t recognize

between being closed and being wise

I’m still open, just more aware

I just don’t let anything stay there

I don’t block what’s meant for me

I just don’t force what don’t fit me

I don’t rush into what feel good

I let it build how it should

I don’t need attention to feel seen

I don’t need noise to feel complete

I’m not hard, I just don’t repeat

what I already learned don’t work for me

I’m not hard

I’m just not available

for anything

I’m not hard, I’m just not easy

you gotta show me if you really mean it

I don’t move fast, I move when it’s right

I don’t do wrong just to say it’s mine

I’m not hard

you just can’t access me like that
