Maybe (Poem)

I know I am hurt and you are too

I know things are tough with me and you

I know I am torn apart inside

I know I can hurt you with my pride

I know I am worth nothing, not even a dime

I know I am just a blink in time

I know I am broken, unmendable now

But maybe you can fix it somehow?

If you could take my head in your hands

Bestow a nod that understands

If you could take this worn out soul

If you could mend it and make it whole

If I was different and if my heart didn't bleed

If I was free of envy and greed

If I was better, happier and pure

If I was... Perhaps you would like me more?

If only I could fit the mold

If only it were me you wanted to hold

If I were younger, prettier and free

Maybe then you could love me?
