Have You Ever

 

Have you ever felt so alive

Feeling every sense you’ve ever known

That comes tingling to life at once

Struggling to be shown?

 

Ever lived a double life

Holding the pain inside

Taking it from those around you

Creating a bomb to hide?

 

Have you ever been so angry

Nothing can take it away

For still living with so much love

It holds your life at bay?

 

Have you ever loved the world

That drives your searing pain

Tearing apart all hope inside

Nothing I can do again?

 

Have you ever loved the humans

That tear every feeling out of you

By bringing you every hatred

Through the things that they do?

 

Have you ever been so numb

To protect you from lost pain

Of a life inflicted, lost in memory

That you cut, to feel again?

 

Have you ever had to bleed

Hoping you wouldn’t survive

Flowing to become the only thing

To let you know that you are alive?

 

Have you ever had to give up

Because there’s nothing to give in

They say its just insanity

But where did it begin?

 

Have you ever just let you feel

I did way back when

With no one to show, how to let go

To begin to live again?

... striking lines, Don!

it is a very rough place to be, to feel, to not feel all at once.......thank you for your thoughts
