Have You Ever | Poem |

Have you ever lived my life?
Spent one minute in my shoes?
If you haven't then tell me why
You judge me as you do.

Have you ever seen a friend get shot
Outside his favorite store?
Have you ever seen a friend die
From drugs he'd used before?

Have you ever seen your mom get beat up
By your step dad or dad messed up on booze?
Have you ever had unwanted intimacy
Someone forcing you to loose?

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

Have you ever considered suicide
As the only way?
Have you ever tried to hide yourself
Behind the things you say?

Have you ever lived my life,
Spent one minute in my shoes?
If you haven't, then tell me why
You judge me as you do
