Maybe Virginity
Maybe I'm all wrong
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I was meant to sing
A very different song
Maybe my weakness
Is being too strong-
Minded
Maybe my open-mindedness
Should be closed
Maybe
I need therapy
Maybe I wasn't meant to be
Happy
Maybe I should give up
Maybe I should end It now
Maybe I should first ask myself
"How?"
Maybe someone will burst my bubble
And save me the trouble
Maybe The End is near
Maybe my best friend should be fear
Maybe Christ is coming today
Maybe I should pray
Maybe I should start going to church on Sundays
And also on weekdays
Maybe I'm a paranoid
Humanoid
Maybe I'm not even that
Maybe I'm just a microscopic stat-
Istic
Maybe
I'm not a tree
Maybe I'm just a stick
Maybe Virginity
Isn't what it's cut out to be
Maybe Fidelity
Only belongs in books of history
Maybe Matrimony
Will always turn a blind eye to me
Maybe this poem is all wrong
Maybe I'm wrong.
Honest, and introspective. I
Honest, and introspective. I can relate to some of your feelings... discontent with a wounded life, yearning for more of what is LIFE, feelings of condemnation for wrongs done, etc. I'd be interested to know, could you explain your passage on virginity, fidelity, and matrimony?
"Maybe I'm just a tree, maybe I'm a stick..." I got your Bible-referenvice! :) Was this what you were thinking?
"Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it, that it may bring forth more fruit."

Surreal!
Reading this poem after nine years is a very surreal experience for me! I have changed a lot since I wrote this poem. But in some ways, I'm still the same :-) This was a kind of stream of consciousness poem, I was just writing what was popping into my mind so most of the lines don't really have any deep meaning - including the tree/stick line :-) When I wrote this poem, I was still not sure about my religious beliefs so I definitely didn't have the verse about bearing fruit in mind :-) I think it's fascinating how poems are interpreted. Thank you for making me read this poem again after such a long time!
