"Maybe"- my first ever poem :)
"Maybe" I'm stuck. I'm stuck in a mess. Not a literal one or one you can physically address. It's a pile of love, of hate, of confusion and sadness and noise. I want to be free from all this madness and void. I want it to be organized, I want it lined up in a row, I want it sorted and cleaned from head to toe. But how to do it? I don't yet know. I could try to shove it all to the bottom, but of course it'll only send new pain to the top. I could try turning the lights out to see if it makes all feelings stop. I could try finding comfort, or even a home, but whenever I think about it, it sets my heart to stone. I'm trapped, but at the same time, I could set myself free. Maybe I can climb out, at least get high enough to breathe. I don't need to clean it right away, I just need to get out and maybe give myself a day, a week, a month, it seems to all be the same. I'm not stuck, just paused. I can feel my problems, and see my flaws. I can get through this, one day at a time. Or even one hour, one minute, that's also fine. I will be okay, in this pile or not. Whatever I currently don't get, will soon be got. -Ava Wirbs
