Have you ever?

By Deathkitten

Have you ever sat in the shower & cried?
Hot water couldn't sting enough if it tried.
Have you ever thrown rocks at a friend?
I've thrown 'em back at the end.
Have you ever been trapped in a cage?
Bouncing from wall to wall in rage?
Have you ever tried to commit?
Suicide, homocide or even admit?
Have you ever seen your reflection for which you stand?
Or fight the dealer for a better hand?
Have you ever had the courage to dig inside your skin?
Or ask yourself where to begin?
Have you ever looked down a thousand feet?
Thought to jump & meet the street?
Have you ever loved?
Have you ever leaped?

    Yes to all the above. And have come close to the leap. Very dark , disturbing piece about what a lot of us have felt through the years. Very good pen .
