Maybe

Maybe,
I've been struggling and trying for so long,
Since they said a man ain't supposed to be weak and cry,
But the pains keep tearing my heart apart.

Maybe,
My mother and father didn't tell me the truth,
And I was too blind to know,
That sometimes in life,
The ends justifies not the means.

Maybe,
I never knew that people can travel many miles to come and bury my corpes,
But can't cross a street to help my gloomy and dying soul.

Maybe,
I've been trying to live,
When I'm just here existing,
An irony of life I couldn't fathom,
Not even at the wake of dawn.

Maybe,
I quickly forgot,
That the past is gone,
The future is a dream,
And all I got is now.
Maybe!
