What I Need

 

If the world gave advice, unbiased and true

About what we really need

Then I wouldn’t be writing this to you

 

If my conscious was satisfied, at ease and in control

What I need would be all around me

Cast to the wind I join the eternal soul

 

I need to grasp my future, the dreams and aspirations

Protect my interests, my love and inspirations

Hold my head high; say what I really want to say

Be a shoulder to cry on, and kiss all the pain away

 

I need to know what I really need to know

And travel places I need to go

Feel the earth from inside my soul

Speak its wisdom to us all

 

I need to think unclouded

Refresh my mind and soul

Be the one unbounded

Released from under the mull

 

I need to be embraced

Loved and adored

Looked in the face

And told to give more

 

I need to live life

Laugh at anything

Know strife

Feel everything

 

I need to know myself

Before I pursue a wife

Not be able to help

Lessons learned in my life
