Maybe if people weren't so ignorant

I wouldn't have to sigh so much.

Maybe if people listened to others

I wouldn't have to be so silent.

Maybe if people noticed me

I wouldn't feel so lonely.

Maybe if people were wiser

I wouldn't feel so downgraded.

Maybe if people understood others

I wouldn't feel so extraterrestrial.

Maybe if people thought things through

I wouldn't have to get them out of trouble.

Maybe if people weren't so selfish

I wouldn't have to feel the need to sacrifice myself.

Maybe if people cared

I wouldn't feel so dead inside.

Maybe if people accepted who I am

I would feel wanted.

Maybe.

Just maybe.
