Maybe it would be easy

To leave you behind.

Wander by myself a while.

Maybe I could dig a hole

And hide away until

Its safe to come out.

Maybe I could run away

From all the fears I’ve had

All these stifling years.

Maybe it would be nice

To lay on the cold ground

And watch my life flash past.

Maybe I could leave

And not come back,

Somehow still not missed.

Maybe.

Or maybe I can live with

All the doubts and fears

That plague my waking thoughts.

Maybe I could take charge

Of my own life

For once in a lifetime

Maybe I can fight

To keep myself afloat

In this cruel world.

Maybe I can stay with you

And keep the fear at bay,

My pillar of strength beside me.

Maybe it will work,

This plan we’ve made

To pass the time.

Maybe, just maybe,

I’ll survive

Maybe
