Have You Ever?
Have you ever lived my life?
Felt what its like t be in my shoes
Then tell me why you judge me as you do
Have you ever woken up in the morning?
Wondering how you’ll get through the day
Have you ever despised life’s unfair rules?
That you are forced to obey
Have you ever sat numb from the pain?
And the unrelenting depression
Have you ever faked a smile to your siblings?
And tried making a good impression
Have you ever cried yourself to sleep?
From the oppression of your surroundings
Have you ever listened to a nightingale?
And the sad tunes it sings
Have you ever watched your friends?
Break out and be free
Have you ever wondered what its like?
To succeed in life successfully
Have you ever prayed to God?
And pleaded to pull through
Have you ever lived my life?
Felt what its like not to have a clue
If not then please tell me why you judge me as you do.
