Have you ever wondered
What lays out past the stars?
Have you ever wondered
Who you really are?

Have you ever smiled
Just to hide your frown?
Have you ever faked happy
Even though you're down?

Have you ever grinned
But really wanted to cry?
I've done this
So many a time

Have you ever sat in silence
Or stared off into space
Imagining a world
That isn't this place?

Have you ever loved someone
Who didn't even know
Wishing they would notice
But knowing it won't be so?

Have you ever been put down
By everyone you know
Lower than the ground
Where tools will not sow?

Have you ever had a friend
That always cheers you up
When you feel it's the end
And you feel like giving up?

Have you ever written a poem
Describing how you feel
But when someone asks
You say it isn't real?
