Maybe

Maybe I'm not

as pretty as you are.

Maybe I'm not

as tall as you are.

Maybe my hair

isn't as pretty a color

as yours is.

Maybe my parents

just don't love each other anymore

like yours do.

Maybe I don't have

the money and freedom

that you do.

Maybe my brother

is in jail,

while yours in in college.

Maybe I'm not

as smart as you are.

Maybe I'm not as popular

as you are.

Maybe my friends

aren't as supportive

as yours are.

Maybe sometimes

I get angry and can't smile

quite like you can.

Maybe I have curves

in places you don't have them.

Maybe my crush

doesn't like me

like yours likes you.

Maybe my house

isn't as big as yours.

Maybe I don't have

a car, but a bike

works just as well.

Maybe I'd be a liar

if I said I didn't wish

I were you,

sometimes.

Maybe I'm more

emotional than you.

Maybe sticks and stones

do break my bones,

and maybe your words

still hurt me.

But maybe I'm

a person, too.

Maybe I want

to feel just as

loved

as you are.

No.

Maybe I deserve it.
