Have You? Poem by Nicky Turner

Have You?



Have you ever tried to be someone you just couldn’t be?
Have you ever tried to love someone and they just set you free?
Have you ever tried to act normal when things are so insane?
And have you shuttered at the thought to say something right?

Have you ever smiled but deep inside you want to die?
Have you ever listened as other people cry?
Have you ever tried to sleep with voices running through your head?
And have you thought of that cold shinning knife as you sat in class?

Have you ever listened when the morning birds sing?
Have you ever listened to a song and thought they knew what you meant?
Have you ever listened to someone lie?
And have you ever questioned you sanity as I do right now?

Have you tried to listen to that person everyone hates and find out why?
Have you made judgements just looking at someone’s face?
Have you tried to figure out why you cut each night?
Have you listened to that voice says inside?
And knew that it was true?

Have you convinced yourself that everyone’s right and you’re wrong?
Have you actually listened when your mother made a speech on how bad you are?
Have you cried that hard, that you hiccuped, coughed and almost threw up?
Have you listened to a word I said or just sat back and laughed?

But the question I’m asking here is…
Have you almost died?
