Have You?

May 30, 2018
By Anonymous

Have you ever sat?
Sat in your room staring at something
Thinking
Thinking about how much you could change what happened in the day

Have you ever looked in the mirror?
Asking yourself why you look like what you look like
Ever looked and wanted to change?
Wanted a different body
Wanted different hair

Have you ever cried?
Cried for no reason
Broken and alone
Not knowing what to do

Have you ever felt alone?
Even if your in a crowd of people
Or have tons of friends
And can talk to someone but your body chooses not to

Have you ever wanted to stay quiet?
But you talk
You want to frown
But you give off a smile

Have you ever told someone?
When they ask what’s wrong and you reply “i don’t know”
Then they get mad because you don’t tell them... when you just did
You are sad, but you don’t know what it is or why

Have you ever thought?
Thought about what someone else goes through
Thought about how they live their life
How they get through everything

Probably not.
You probably havn’t
thought about anyone else but yourself
