Have You Ever

Have You Ever

A Poem by Nicole Schuster
"

hopefully someone can relate, so i know i'm not alone

"
Not everyone feels the same things
None of us are the same
But have you ever felt these things? 
Tell me, please, so I know I'm not alone

Have you ever been so ashamed that the only thing you want to do 
Is crawl into a hole and never show your face again? 
To never let your embarrassment show? 
And never let your faults surface?

Have you ever made a mistake that cost you a relationship?
Said or did one thing wrong
To make the walls go up? 
And no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't seem to break them down? 

Have you ever lay awake at night
Overthinking and wishing you could change the past? 
Filling your time with regret
And hoping for a do-over day?

Have you ever loved someone so much you can't breathe?
You don't know what to do or how to act
Everyday, you worry about what they think of you
And how they feel in return? 

Have you ever been unsure of what choice to make
Scared that the wrong decision will ruin your future? 
Going back and forth between your options
Trying to see where each path reads?

Have you ever doubted your faith
Wondering if there really is a God out there
Unsure that your cries are being heard
Or if you're praying for something from no one?

Have you ever felt so alone
That it's as if you're a ghost no one can see
With no one to ask the question burning in your mind
Why is life going on without me? 

Have you ever seen only closed doors before you
Left thinking that there is no way out
Believing that there is no reason for you to keep living, no hope for your future
And just wanting to end it all? 

I've felt all of these things at one time or another
Hell, I felt some of these things today
But I want you to know, loud and clear
And as a reminder to myself too
WE ARE NOT ALONE
