Maybe

Maybe it’s the innate quality

of pushing myself

to the limit,

Testing how far I can go

and acting surprised

when I hurl myself

Over the edge.

Maybe because I think

it’s okay

to hurt myself

in the name of… what?

Maybe life

is more than I can know.

More than skewed and odd pieces

haphazardly arranged

trying to fit together

trying to make sense

when maybe it doesn’t have to.
