Maybe

If you ever wondered who I was
    I can be a mystery of sorts
A mom, a daughter, a friend
    Someone other than what most see

I cannot imagine the visions that run through your mind
    I’m somewhat of a sinner and a saint
Maybe a poet who can no longer write
    Just one of the masses, lingering on

A burden or a blessing, time hasn’t revealed
    For my shadows have not yet hindered your sight
Maybe I’m your saving grace
    Maybe, you are mine

I may be your distraction
    Someone you needed in your heart
Maybe I am your strength
    Something to fight for when there’s nothing left

Maybe I am just passing through
    A burst of sunshine to light your way
Or I could by chance, be something that grounds you
    When there’s no footing to be found

You could ask me a million times who I was
    And every answer would change
I’m part of what I hoped, and part of what I feared
    I’m a mix of life and loss

I’m just another person
    Trying to find their way
A bit uncertain
    But still holding on

Maybe it’s me who has wondered who I was
    Confused and scared, I hid away
It’s better to be guarded in this life
    So I used to think

But funny thing about life
    It takes unexpected turns
Destinations of unexpected places
    Journey’s welcoming arms

I guess I’ve always wondered who I was
    A combination of all else
I’m just another person
    Trying to fit into the bigger picture

But today I realized that I am more
    I am someone who wants to become
Someone who wants to feel, to touch, to believe
    To become better than I was before

You speak few words
    But they challenge me
Yours is a quite gentle inspiration
    Enduring awesome strength
   
You have made me wonder who I am
    And I am starting to like what I see
A d reamer, a hoper, a romantic
    I’m someone other than what most see
