Do you?

An inside view of how I feel

Do you know what it's like
to not want to wake up?
Do you know what it's like
to fight for every step you take?
Do you know what it's like
to not want to step outside the door?
Do you know what it's like
to want to kill that person
just beyond the mirror?

Have you ever
wished to dream forever?
Have you ever
just wanted to leave it all behind?
Have you ever
wanted to hide from the world?
Have you ever
hoped that same world
would grow cold and die?

Will you ever
help someone who feels like this?
Will you ever
understand the pain we feel?
Will you ever
stand for those with no voice?
Will you ever
fight for what they need
just to survive?

Do you know what it's like
to feel betrayed by the god
who dictates this world?
Have you ever
wanted that same god
to fall and die?
Will you ever
convince us we're wrong
about the cold shoulder
it gives this world?
