All I need


This may be simple for many

but for me I have plenty


How do I only choose one

When I have a ton


I am stranded on an island

and I just want to be back to the hyland


Before I left I was able to choose one

A person, thing, or object

to help me on my journey a ton


What will I choose

love, support, survival

or many even a pair of shoes


But I want to survive

I think a knife will help me thrive


A knife!

This will help save my life


With a knife I will be able to get food

which will keep me in a good mood


Also I will be able to build

which will keep me from getting killed


Maybe even start a fire

which with make the smoke go higher


A plane passing

will see the smoke flashing


They will send help

and I will have to yelp


But a knife

That’s what saved my life!
