*~*Did You Ever..?*~* Did you ever look up high Imagine what's behind the midnight sky Try to see beyond the stars above Wonder if the world could be enough? Did you ever hear a song A mournful tune of love gone wrong Feel it was written just for you And the singer knew your heart of blue? Did you ever lean upon a friend Think the tears would never end Wish that friend was there to stay Then watch them as they walked away? Did you ever leave a note Then wish those written words you'd spoke Regret the things you never said And cry about it, alone in bed? Did you ever hurt yourself And wish that you were someone else Someone you thought had it all Before you saw them take a fall? Did you ever read a book And in your head the words got stuck Then wish the protagonist was you Living a life of golden hue? Did you ever play a game Where 'winner' and 'loser' meant the same No rules were made so none could be broken And only words of encouragement were spoken? Did you ever make a choice Based on the tales of someone else’s voice And when the choice brought nothing but pain With the 'someone else' place all the blame? Did you ever wish for wings So you could feel the peace a cool wind brings Then realise it’s upon your face In your special grounded place? Did you ever wish for love Think without it life was not enough Then look around and realise You've got all the love you need in life? Did you ever look up high Behold a starry midnight sky And take your world for what it is; A place of wonderment and bliss... ...With no room for "but", "I wish", "what if?" ~Becky~ |
