Have You Ever?


Have you ever?? By. R.p. Stevens Have you ever been fed up Enuff to throw in the towel? Have you ever had the courage To be different than the crowd? Have you ever told the truth When you knew it was gonna hurt?? Have you ever felt your life Was a never ending curse?? Have you ever gave your all When there is nothing left to give?? Have you ever felt like dying Yet you really want to live?? I have!!!! Have you?? Have you ever drove around But had nowhere to go??? Have you ever felt lost On that same old dusty road?? Have you ever loved so much That you caused yourself more pain?? Have you ever fought so hard That you feel totally drained?? Have you ever pointed the finger But really your to blame?? Have you ever swallowed your pride And humbly excepted shame?? I have!!! Have you?? Have you ever said I'm sorry And meant it truthful and honest?? Have you ever been sincere Remorseful and modest??? Have you ever felt alone And lower than the land?? Have you ever had to fight Cause you chose to make a stand?? Have you ever told someone Something to make them really smile?? Have you ever calmed one down When life gets a lil wild?? I have!! Have you?? Have you ever stoppe to think What if , or what could've been?? Have you ever tried to help Or lend a helping hand?? Have you ever been hit Yet turn the other cheek?? Have you ever been the strength When someone else is weak?? Have you ever cried When thinking of the past?? Have you ever had a dream so real You wake up with a gasp?? Have you ever?? I have !!
