Tell me about yourself.
Did you ever figure out this thing called life?
Have you experienced suffering?
And if so, did you get better or have you not recovered yet?
Did you finally start dreaming when you sleep?
Do you even sleep?
Or still lay awake at night?

Where do you spend time now when your lonely?
Have you ever fallen in love with someone who doesn't love you?
Have you allowed yourself to even get close to someone again?
What substance do you prefer to numb your pain?
Do you reminisce moments with individuals?

Did you ever move away from that town?
Or stay close to home?
Have you found a job that pays your choice of living?
Are you content with yourself and where you are at this very moment?

Have you ever lost someone to suicide?
Have you ever poured a drink for someone gone?
Do you ever think about suicide yourself?
Or did you stop trying to kill yourself when someone you knew actually did it?
Did you ever bring yourself up to going to visit his grave?
I can only imagine how beautiful his tombstone is.

Did you keeping drinking that summer?
Or get burnt out on the numerous hangovers and different faces lying next to you?
Have you ever wished you could call and they would pick up?
Do you even know what would you say?

( To the individual I didn't have the time to get to understand )
