A New Circumstance

Maybe I don’t belong here, 
maybe I once did;
maybe I do,
maybe none of this is the truth;

Maybe it’s a shot in the dark, 
maybe it’s as honest as the Sun;
Maybe I can,
maybe just one more chance;

Maybe a new circumstance,
maybe;

Maybe I get tired of old words,
maybe that’s to be expected;
Maybe this poem’s trash 
maybe it’s a rough diamond;

Maybe  lightning struck me,
Maybe it never did;
Maybe it’s just thunderstorms,
maybe silence is what’s real;

Maybe it’s a new circumstance,
maybe.
