In the unavoidable hope
Living inside me
I wander blindly
Into this warzone
Of emotionality

This hope has been ruined
Shattered so many times
But never killed
Constantly there
It never falters

Saying "maybe"
Maybe someday
I'll get my chance
To make someone happy
And be happy as well

Even as my chances
Seem to be slim
Even after failing
More than I care to count
My hope lives on

Though things are less
Than uncertain
Giving up my search
Has never been an option
Nor a valid choice

I would fight
For a single "maybe"
Than surrender
To a million No's
Or retreat for a mediocre "yes"
