Have You Ever?

by Ashley   Nov 21, 2005


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 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 get shot
outside of 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 pregnancy?
forcing you to choose?

have you ever sat beneath the stars
hoping God will hear?
have you ever see your friend drive away
after way to many beers?

Have you ever had a friend
experiment with wee?
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 & everyone in sight?
have you ever felt so much pain
that you cried yourself to sleep at night?

Have you ever lived my life,
Send one minute in my shoes?
If you haven't, then tell me why
you judge me like you do.
