Do You

Have you ever asked yourself if your meant for something more
Do you ever find yourself searching 
Although you never seem to figure out what it is your searching for

Do you trust those who you shouldn’t and doubt those who are true
Have you ever found yourself lost
And had no idea what to do

Have you ever ended up feeling overwhelmed and unable to catch a break
Do you ever find yourself gasping underneath fear
As you smile for them to see but  your heart continues to ache

Have you ever wondered what you could have been had you made a different choice 
Do you find yourself wishing you could go back
And make them hear your voice 

Do you ever sit and imagine having an entirely different life
Have you found yourself daydreaming
And had a happy ever ending as a princes wife

Have you ever questioned if there was a god and why he lets you hurt so much
Do you ever find yourself second guessing everything
Do you ever feel so numb that you can’t feel the slightest touch

Do you ever think that somethings eventually gotta give
Have you ever cried without knowing why
Do you ever think this was not the life you were meant to live

Have you ever found yourself envious of those whom seem to have it all
Do you try to achieve greatness
Do you instead just sit there feeling small

Do you speak your mind or hide your feelings deep inside
Have you been honest 
Or just like them you lied

Do you ever find yourself in competition for someone else’s love that seems impossible to achieve
Have you fallen in the shadows of someone else
Do you give up or just no longer believe

Do you ever feel so empty as if nobody sees your pain
Have you ever been pushed aside and ignored
Do you ever feel insane 

Have you ever sat there without realizing hours had passed away 
Do you ever feel alone 
Have you tried to make them proud but they only had bad things to say

Have you ever prayed that god would rescue you from this hell
Do you think that he heard you
Were your prayers answered or next time should you yell

Have you ever witnessed a miracle which made it impossible to not believe in something more
Do you remember the warmth which accompanied it
Do you deserve to walk through heavens door

Have you ever felt so lost and afraid unsure of where to turn 
Do you make the same mistakes
Or do you finally learn
