Maybe...

Just maybe.

That is the word of life.

It describes so much and so little.

It is an indefinite answer

For when you can provide none.

It is a stand in for uncertainty

And confusion

And debate and apprehension.

It is a maybe,

It is a placeholder for self-doubt.

A basic word

And a basic answer

That has meaning yet also none.

It remains empty as

It is a void for everything,

It is everything and nothing.

I have no need for maybe's

But it is all I receive.

How do you obliterate

Something that has no definition?

It can be perceived as good or bad

It can be anything.

Why are answers unobtainable?

Why are we given placeholders

When there are other answers?

Why is that all

That I am left with

Every.

Single.

Time.

Why can't there be a way

To transform this blurred area

To something actually readable

Instead of the meaningless word

That everybody,

so carelessly,

Throws around?
