Maybe I Deserve It Poem by Reina Puja

Maybe I deserve the pain I bear,
Maybe I deserve to feel no one's care.
Maybe I deserve to be left alone,
A heart uncherished, a soul unknown.

After all, I'm not worth the fight,
Who would care if I fade from sight?
Who would notice if I'm here or gone,
A fleeting shadow, a setting sun?

Who cares that sadness hides my grin,
That my pillow soaks the tears within?
Who cares that I break while playing strong,
A silent scream in a bustling throng?

Who even cares if I care or not,
A soul forgotten, a name forgot?
Maybe I deserve this aching tide,
But still, I long for a place to confide.
