Maybe

Maybe I'm broke.

Maybe I'm flawed.

Maybe I messed up, pissed off God.

Maybe you're right,

Maybe I'm wrong

Singing this same old, stupid song.



And maybe...

Everyone wants

Everyone needs

Everyone hurts inside like me.

I'm just too weak,

I just can't deal

Everyone else knows how I feel.



But maybe...

Maybe I've sought

But I just can't find.

Maybe it's all inside my mind.

Maybe I'm not

One of His "Called"

Maybe He planned for me to fall.



I'm just not happy,

That's just not me.

God never intended me to be.

I just can't take it,

I'll never make it.

God made His promise, and He won't break it.



And maybe...

Everyone's pushed,

But everyone's fine.

Everyone walks straight down that line.

I just can't walk,

Let alone stand

I just can't deal with life's demands.



I think that's all crap,

I think that's a lie.

Nobody wants to want to die.

Maybe I'm sick

But I'm not insane

And I don't believe I've lost my brain.



Life's not so bad,

Stiffen those lips

Get ahold of yourself and come to grips.

Don't be so weak,

Don't be afraid,

Take it and make some lemonade.



Just maybe...

Maybe I've tried,

Maybe I can't

Maybe my strength is long past spent.

There's just some things

I just can't do.

Maybe He never meant me to.

This has to be the most meaningful poem I've read in a long while.

(I went on a random search and found your site. I love it!)

I can't tell you how perfect this is, and how often I feel the same way.
