Tell Me Have You Ever?

....Opinionz Appreciated.
Ever been lying awake at night,
Just listening to the voices?
Ever wondered if it was alright,
To abide by their choices?

Ever seen the eternal heartache,
That someone else feels?
Ever heard the screaming voices,
As someone's secrets they reveal?

Ever seen a picture perfect family,
With kids so f*cked they're dead?
Ever wanted to be part of a group,
That wasn't inside your head?

Ever reached out for hands,
That weren't there to hold?
Ever wanted to know something,
But it's just another story untold?

Ever wanted to try,
But only see failure?
Ever had a mental illness,
That just has no cure ... ?
