Maybe I’ll be taken back
To cleaner spaces
Familiar, bright
Maybe they will steal me away
To much happier places
Of warmth and light.
Maybe I’ll find peace again
Within my soul,
My heart might mend.
Maybe those I love and miss
Will remember me,
And the pain will end.
Maybe I won’t make it through
This harsh new task,
The darkness pressing.
Maybe friendly blackness wraps around
This girl at last
A better dressing.
Maybe I can fight it away from me,
Though sad and scared,
Not solitary.
Maybe I will grow up stronger,
Choose to move on
And not to tarry.
Maybe I will be okay
Though life keeps throwing
Bricks at me.
Maybe because I’ll find someone
Who needs this girl
And we’ll just be.
