My Favorite Poems

HAVE YOU EVER
By Tiffany Blevins

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 you last day on Earth?
Have you ever left your house
Unsure if you'd return?

Have you ever seen a friend get shot 
Outside his favorite store?
Have you ever seen a frienddie
From drugs he'd never used before?

Have you ever seen your mom get beat up 
By your stepdad or dad messed up on booze?
Have you ever had unwanted pregnancy
Forcing you to choose?

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

Have you ever had a friend 
Experment with weed?
Have you ever covered up guilt 
By doing a good deed?

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

Have you ever wanted to protect
Yours friends and everyone in sight?
Have you ever felt such pain
That you criend yourself to sleep at night?

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
