Maybe It Was Me

Maybe it was me
or maybe it was the sadness within
That I longed for emptiness
Even in a crowded place

Maybe it’s the music
Or maybe the voices of people
That I started resenting
In every single word I hear

No, it’s not you
Don’t blame your empty heart
That I drained along with mine

I’m telling you
I have the power to crumble
Every good thing that comes along

I don’t have stories
for you to sympathize
Because maybe, just maybe
My life is enough

Maybe I haven’t been through hell
For me to cry over at night
Yet I have myriad fears
Fighting not to keep me alive

And here I am
Finding peace with the night and day
Getting along to how things change
And hoping, maybe I won’t die today.
