Maybe

Maybe all I wanted was
To be thought of
As a friend,
Brother,
Lover

Maybe I wished to be different
From what I was
The loner,
The one you all hated,
Despised even

Maybe you saw right past me
Through the depression,
The darkness
Maybe there really was a light inside me

Maybe it was just too dim
For me to see
Were your hearts strong enough to find me
To pull me out of this?
