HAVE YOU

Have you ever done something so evil, 
          you felt like the devil?
Have you ever felt so ashamed,
you wished a whirlwind would take you away?
Have you ever felt so disappointed 
          in someone you appointed?


Have you ever felt so much pain
          you couldn't fight back the tears?
Have you ever put your best in something

         only to get as much as nothing?
Have you ever been so vexed
         you could tear a lion apart?


 Have you ever been so scared 
          inexplicable how you got wet?
Have you ever been so broke
          hardly could you afford a coke? 
Have you ever been jilted

          and reminisce  how you were treated?




Have you ever been mistreated 
          yet you were patient and waited?
Have you ever been misinterpreted
         even after you consistently repeated?
Have you ever been so hungry 
         you thought you'lld die?




Have you ever been so embarrassed
         you wished the ground would swallow you?
Have you ever wished you were never born?




If at one time or another ,
you've had one such experience or worse
but you're alive today to read this
then you'll understand that truly
'whatever doesn't kill you ...
can only make you stronger'...
