Maybe it's justification, or just imagination, maybe just a thought gone awry
Maybe it's the situation or maybe mental masturbation, maybe it's just a lie
Maybe a fabrication or maybe just hesitation of a thought that won't die
Maybe temptation to avoid self condemnation, maybe just a passing sigh
Maybe it's determination to save a reputation, maybe a wrong to untie
Maybe a demonstration to fulfill an obligation, maybe it's a battle cry
Maybe a mental penetration or a simple restoration of the answer to why
Maybe disfiguration or a total deviation, maybe just another try
Maybe in isolation there will be salvation, maybe self esteem can still climb high
Maybe a revelation from a gifted inspiration, maybe just love to apply
Maybe motivation over contemplation, maybe hope will still fly
Maybe with transformation there will be liberation, maybe a way to say good bye

You are most welcome, Soren.
Well-written, Sorenbarrett, with a bit of twists and turns, uncertainties, but I kind of maybe think I got it! Your poem seems to revolve around uncertainty and the search for meaning in various aspects of life. The repeated use of "maybe" suggests a contemplation of possibilities and the complexities of human thoughts and emotions. You explore themes of self-reflection, hesitation, and the pursuit of understanding in the face of confusion and doubt. The poem delves into the interplay between imagination, reality, and the struggle for self-acceptance and transformation.
Thank you Friendship for your interpretation and kind words of support they are most valuable to me
You are welcome, Soren.
Excellent write
Thank you Tony for your read and generous support it is most appreciated
You're welcome
So much of life revolves around the word "maybe", and with poetic brilliance you capture the feeling place of hesitancy or uncertainty that plagues us all from time to time. Beatifully done!
Thank you dear Bella for your review of this piece. It started with the knowledge that Maybe is a weak word in poetry as it is in life so I built this poem out of weak words. Only three words in this poem are considered strong so it goes against poetic advice in writing but MAYBE going against the rules is not always bad. I appreciate your kind words of support my friend.
Brilliant.
Thank you so much Thomas
Liberation is there within us soren, all we need is to believe in ourselves.

Thank you Andy for your support and words of encouragement.
Hello Soren,
The optimist: maybe; the pessimist: maybe not but there is always the maybe. The multi syllable rhyming technique gives the poem a rap flavour which I have enjoyed very much and the poem complete is splendid. An out-and out joy to read. Very well done, my friend.
Fond regards,
Tony.
Thank you so much Tony for the read and kind words they are most appreciated.
Wow, again. You are a really wonderful writer.
I can't help but feeling that what happens to us in life...;
whether we meet friend/or, foe, next...is for a reason.
And, for some reason, having only joined this site just yesterday;
I have had the uncommon luck to run into your works...;
something which I find to be very highly 'inspiring', indeed. 😉
You know how to take 'risks' when writing poems...;
and, will do so really quite 'fearlessly'.
You are too kind Paul, as an old man there are no more risks to take. People either like what you write or they do not, I can't change that. I write for me and share with others. So glad that you have found this site and hope you find a home here. I appreciate your words
