Maybe if I were prettier

or a little bit thinner

with longer legs

and a smaller nose

maybe I

Maybe if I weren’t so shy

or so busy

or messy

or irresponsible

maybe I

Maybe if I could sing

and if I could dance

or draw and paint

and write

maybe I

Maybe if I were less fickle

and picky and difficult

or blunt and offensive

maybe I

Maybe there may be too many maybes

to maybe tell me what may be

maybe
