Have You Ever

Have you ever felt this feeling
Of heartache depression and hate
You used to think everything was alright
And now you’re questioning your fate?

Have you ever felt like leaving
Everything you’ve ever had
Because everything that was so good
Has suddenly turned bad?

Have you ever felt alone
While standing in the middle of a crowd
No one hears your cries of help
But you’re screaming all you’ve got out loud?

Have you ever felt like you were drowning
From all the tears you’ve cried
And every tear brings you back
To the nights your “friends” lied?

Have you ever felt the need to run away
And stay somewhere lying in the dark
That way no one can ever know you
At least well enough to break your heart?

Have you ever felt so dead inside
Like your whole body has been cut
Or as if someone took a knife
And stabbed you in the gut?

So please tell if you’ve ever had this feeling
Of heartache depression and hate
When everything used to be alright
And now you’re questioning your fate.

Yes, Rae. I'm feeling like that right now so it helped to know I'm not alone. Thanks for sharing your heartfelt thoughts. Love, Carolyn
