Have You Ever?
Have you ever lived my life?
Spent one minute in my shoes?
If you haven't then tell me why
You judge me as you do.
Have you ever woken up in the morning
Wondering if this was your last day on Earth?
Have you ever left your home
Unsure if you'd return?
Have you ever felt shunned
By your family and friends?
Have you ever wondered
If you life wasn't worth the mend?
Have you ever seen your friend
Get beat up by her mom messed up on drugs?
Have you ever given up
And tried hanging out with thugs?
Have you ever sat beneath the stars
Hoping God will hear?
Have you ever seen a friend drive
Away after way too many beers?
Have you ever been molested or
Maybe even raped?
Have you ever been forced to grow up
Your childhood escape?
Have you ever been betrayed
By someone that you love?
Have you ever been told you're
Worthless - that you are no white dove?
Have you ever had a friend
Experiment with weed?
Have you ever covered up guilt
By doing a good deed?
Have you ever watched a friend
Slowly kill herself?
Have you ever covered for someone
As well as for yourself?
Have you ever considered suicide
As the only way?
Have you ever tried to hide yourself
Behind the things you say?
Have you ever wanted to protect
Your friends and everyone in sight?
Have you ever felt such pain
That you cry yourself to sleep at night?
Have you even been a teenage statistic
To everyone you meet?
Have you ever felt so fat and gross
That you simply refuse to eat?
Have you ever had an unwanted
Pregnancy forcing you to choose?
Have you ever accepted an offer
To take a drink of booze?
Have you ever tried to stop a
Teen from killing her unborn babe?
Have you ever hated yourself
Because of things you have not done?
Have you ever felt you
Had nothing left to live for?
Have you ever tried to kill yourself
Because life has slammed the door?
Have you ever been forced away
From your home?
Have you ever been kept in
Some 'protective' dome?
Have you ever lived my life,
Spent one minute in my shoes?
If you haven't then tell me why
You judge me as you do.
Forever Krysia
