Maybe...

maybe
the world is at your feet

maybe
YOU'RE the one
groveling at the feet
of some higher power's

maybe
everything is crystal clear
and if not everything,
at least most things

maybe
everything swirls around
in a deafening cacophony
and you don't know
which way is up

maybe
you have a good life at home
you love your family
your family loves you
you are happy
would never think of changing that

maybe
you have a haunted past
your parents are evil
they don't understand
maybe you've tried ways of escape
only to find
it's all a lie anyways

maybe
you are loved
you can feel that warmth
creep up all the way from your toes
embracing you

maybe
you are despised
menacing glares follow you
wherever you go
and there is no escape

maybe
you are in love
with someone who loves you for you
and takes care of you
and would never hurt you

maybe
you are in love
with someone who "loves you"
a.k.a your ass
and just tries to get in your pants
but what can you do?
you love him, remember?

maybe
you love someone
who kind of likes you...
but REALLY likes this other girl
and he's "torn" because he doesn't want to hurt your feelings
not knowing he's hurting them even more
by pretending

or maybe,
you love someone
who doesnt love you
at all
they don't know you dream of them
they don't know anything about you
because they wont bother getting to know you

maybe,
you are all of those
mixed up in one
you have your ups,
you have your downs

and maybe,
you wish you were someone else
you wish you could escape
into the life of another
but what would they do with YOUR life?
would they make the wrong choices?
would they be the ruin of you?

you know what though?

DEFINITELY
you are you.
and there's no changing that.
people all around you,
EVERYWHERE
are going through the same things
wishing the same things
hurting the same way
loving the same way
you just gotta find them

and maybe,
it will be REALLY hard
to remember that
to find those people
to find YOU

it may be hard,
but it's not impossible.

it can happen...
you just gotta believe it can.

you are NOT alone.
