Think

Have you ever lived my life? 
Spent one minute in my shoes? 
Please just tell me....
Why do you judge me as you do? 
Have you ever had your friend die? 
Because of his favorite hobby? 
Watched in silence another friend die, 
From cancer, and never smoked a day? 
Have you ever thought, 
That life would be better if you were gone? 
But tried to live it all the same, 
As if nothing, nothing was wrong? 
Have you ever seen someone die, 
From being shot in a place far away
Ever had to treat young men 
Forcing you to choose who lives that day? 
Have you ever looked up at the stars, 
Praying god will hear? 
Please don't send us anymore
We are battle weary here
Ever tried to cut, 
Any anguish that you had today? 
The red blood stains, 
Will never take any of the pain away
Have you ever gone hungry, 
Knowing that nobody really cared? 
And wishing you had the courage
To end it all right there? 
So, do you think you've lived my life? 
Spent one minute in my shoes? 
If not, then maybe you should think.
Why you treat others as you do.
