Maybe I wasn't like that ...
---poem---
Maybe I'm not to be called
Maybe I am the fault
Maybe they won't hurt, the stranger
Maybe I am the danger!
Maybe it wasn't my fate
Maybe I am the hate
Maybe he wanted bit more
Maybe I'm not sure
Maybe the pain wasn't so high
Maybe I am the cry
Maybe he wasn't too sad
Maybe I am the mad
Maybe they made me so bad
Maybe I wasn't like that

The central idea of this poem, "Shayad," revolves around feelings of self-doubt and self-criticism. In it, a person introspects their emotions, thoughts, and situations, constantly blaming themselves, thinking they might be the source of the problem, whether it’s pain, hatred, or someone else’s sorrow. This poem truly takes the form of self-exploration, where the individual considers themselves at the center of the situation and questions their feelings. With each "Shayad," the thought emerges that things might not be as they seem, and a change in perspective could completely alter the interpretation of the situation. These lines reflect the mental state of a person grappling with an internal struggle, caught between reality and their perceptions. Brilliant work! What I love most about your writings is the way your poems flow so powerfully and seamlessly. And the endings always leave me amaze 👏💫💥✨d!
And maybe you're right ✅ good work
