Have You Ever
Have you ever wonders the streets at night?
When the darkness is so deep it’s like trying to look through silk
Have you run your fingers along the leaves of low hanging branches?
When their covered with a think blanket of due
I have
Walked hours in the silky night
When clouds covered the sky
Let the moon guyed me
Trusting my soul to were my feet go
Have you ever craved for someone you could never have?
When they are so close you can feel their breath on your skin
Have you ever wanted to lean in close; taste their lips agents yours?
Warm and soft tasting of them
I have
Lured them in with whispers in their ear
Gentle squeezes as I run my hands over their shoulders
Tasting them as I gently push my lips to theirs
Have you ever felt alone?
Like you’re the only person on the planet
Have you ever wonders why they just pick at you?
Your too fat to thin not tall enough not short enough your clothes are wrong your shoes to small
I have
Felt so alone that I took flesh from bone
Let blood run deep down drain wholes
Let the picking eat away the flesh that was left
Have you ever beat your fist into a wall?
So that the tears welling behind your eyes would not fall
Have you ever hugged your dog at night?
When their was no one around who wanted to comfort you
I have
Beat my fist into a wall till the skin was raw
Night after night when then the walls took the abuse
Hugged by dog so tight I was positive I would suffocate him
Have you ever woken feeling new?
All that’s happens just made you stronger
Have you ever realized the value of your own gold?
Look at your assets what your brain knows
I have
Iv woken feeling new when the truing point came
I stopped lessening to what others said
I stopped the hate from feeding on me
For I am not going to be what they want
For I am
Me
I am strong
Smart
Beautiful
For I am me and that all i can be
