Have you ever lived my life? <br />Spent one minute in my shoes? <br />If you haven't then tell me why, <br />Do you judge me as you do? <br /> <br />Have you ever woken up in the morning <br />Wondering if this was your last day on earth? <br />Have you ever left your house <br />unsure if you'd return? <br /> <br />Have you ever seen your friend get shot <br />in front of his favorite store? <br />Have you seen a friend die <br />from drugs he'd never used before? <br /> <br />Have you ever seen your mom get beat up <br />by your step dad messed up on booze? <br />Have you ever had an unwanted pregnacy <br />forcing you to choose? <br /> <br />Have you ever sat beneath the stars <br />hoping god would hear? <br />Have you ever seen your friend drive away <br />after too many beers? <br /> <br />Have you ever had a friend <br />experiment with weed? <br />Have you ever covered up guilt <br />by doing a good deed? <br /> <br />Have you ever considered <br />suicide as the only way? <br />Have you ever tried to hide yourself <br />behind the things you say? <br /> <br /> <br />Have you ever wanted to protect <br />your friends and everyone in sight? <br />Have you ever felt such pain <br />that you cried yourself to sleep at night? <br /> <br /> <br />Have you ever lived my life, <br />Spent one minute in my shoes? <br />If you haven't then tell me why <br />do you judge me as you do? <br /> <br /> By: <br /> Amanda Dailey,15<br /><br />Nanner Bananer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/have-you-ever-73/
