Have You Ever...

Have you ever lived in my life?
Spent one minute in my shoes?
If you haven’t 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 house?
Unsure if you’d return.

Have you ever seen your friend got shot?
Outside his favorite store,
Have you ever seen a friend die?
From drugs he’d never used before.

Have you ever seen your mom get beat up?
By your step dad messed up on booze?
Have you ever had an unwanted disease?
Forcing you to choose.

Have you ever felt so lonely?
Feeling like you’ve been isolated from everyone,
Have you ever been betrayed?
By your best friend you’ve trusted so long.

Have you ever sat beneath the stars?
Hoping God will hear?
Have you ever seen your friends drive away?
After way too many bears.

Have you ever had a friend?
Experiment with weed?
Have you ever covered up guilt,
By doing a good deed?

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 suck pain?
That you cried yourself to sleep at night.

Have you ever lived in my life?
Spent one minute in my soul?
Notice what I feel back there
And tell me what it’s like…
