I don't own The Legend of Drizzt or Maybe. The Legend of Drizzt is the work of Robert Salvatore. Maybe was likely written by Martin Charnin for the musical Annie.
Maybe
Somewhere underground,
In House Do'Urden's home.
My Mother is lashing the servants,
My Dad has his swords both honed.
And maybe on this night,
House DeVir will be shorn.
What a dispiriting setting,
In which for a child to be born.
Mostly Mom hates.
Mostly Dad fights.
There's little else do here most nights.
Smile with your teeth,
Like you were a shark.
That's what life is in the Underdark.
So, maybe I'm too kind,
In this underworld of hate.
These folk will never accept me,
They hate me.
Upwards I run,
Escaping the night.
Searching for friendship, up in the sunlight!
Up here its bright,
It stings at my eyes.
My only hope may not have been wise!
So, maybe now I'm here,
The only one of my kind.
Won't you please try to accept me?
Maybe.
As promised... Here is August 2nd's contribution.
