Have You Ever?

Location

Have you ever thought of suicide?

If you’re strong enough to put a blade to your throat?

Or a gun to your head?

If you’re strong enough to feel the pain in your wrists?

Until you wound up dead?

………………………………

Have you ever thought no one understood the pain you are going through?

After every silent tear?

That no one could hear your silent screams?

That echoed inside from your never ending fear?

That you put on fake smiles to hide your pain

But you cry and cry until it looks like rain.

…………………………………….

Have you ever thought that there’s people out there just like you?

I know the pain

And suffering

You’re going through.

……………………………..
