Have They?
August 24, 2014
Have they ever thought
that I might understand
what it's like
when life doesn't go as planned?
Have they ever thought
that I might know
what it's like
to feel sorrow?
Have they ever thought
I might get
what it's like
to pay a debt?
Have they ever thought
I might get
what it's like
to feel a threat?
Have they ever thought
I might know
what it's like
to feel woe?
Have they ever thought
I might understand
what it's like
to not understand?
