Maybe

Maybe

A Poem by oranges_melt
"

it's about how we are all entitled to our opinions and everyone is different: black, white, straight, gay, stubborn, easy, smart, dumb, whatever. at least we're all real.

"

People are entitled to their opinions and I'm entitled to mine,

what could push me far enough to go insane and resign?

 

Nobody knows what it feels like to be as wrong as you and me,

doing the unthinkable but they know it's not that bad to see,

 

they know that we're free-falling and thinking it's insane,

they don't know what we feel and the joy of our pain,

 

hand in hand we try to fly,

in hopes we won't end it and die,

 

I know it sounds absurd at first,

I feel so great I want to burst,

 

the hair in my face and the birds chirping song,

they think we're insane and it's us--we're all wrong,

 

but what do they know about insanity deed,

the things that they preach and things that they lead?

 

What do they know about you and me too,

they don't know that we can and what we can do,

 

they don't know that the princess was once too poor,

and the scholarship kid's 1-2-3 open  door,

 

they don't know much about the frog-kissing princess,

what could they possibly know about the five human senses?

 

It may not be just me and you,

the things we try and things we do,

 

I know it may seem impossible,

just wait and see--it's endurable,

 

some people think it's just like that,

but you keep saying I'm not fat,

 

I know I'm scared it might be true,

maybe it's cuz' I'm falling for you,

 

maybe I'm wrong and they're all right,

but aren't we equal--the human sight?

 

I make mistakes and they do too,

why can't they see it's what I do?

 

I love to risk all my nine lives,

submerged in water--runs and dives,

 

it may seem stupid and plain out wrong,

maybe I'm looking at it way too long,

 

but I guess nobody knows we all like to shout,

I can hear it in your voice--the occuring doubt,

 

that maybe they are right and we're wrong eachday,

well for now, I'm surfing--so what do you say?
