Maybe...

Maybe...

I was a fool for listening to your version of me,

Maybe...

I was stupid for not setting myself free,

Maybe...

You were right; there wasn't anyone who could love me,

Maybe...

I was useless, even for me.

These words you told me,

Landed me in a psychological prison,

Inside my mind,

But now,

I am free to leave your torment in the past,

No shadows of doubt may I cast;

Maybe...

I should never have been yours;

The moment I set you free,

I found life within me.

So, I have no regrets in saying what I said;

I threw away the maybe's the day my new

partner married me,

I now live a life of peace and certainty,

I am free because I found me.
