All I Need


All I Need is 

wait, I haven't made my decision

there are so many first world luxuries

all of which I need to keep living 

I don't know WHAT to pick

my Phone, my Laptop, my Wifi

which one of these things can I possibly kiss bye bye

to, perhaps all I need is my Mother

maybe I can show my sweet side

maybe I'll take my girlfriend, show that I'm a lover 

 

Why don't I know what I should take with me

it's so hard for me to tell WHAT I want.

and what's a necessity

there's so many things that society's shown me

[removed]                           society       owns me

I don't care if what I bring isn't something that displays 

my thoughtfulness, or shows the cleverness in my ways

 

I've decided to bring!

Nothing at all

because bringing something over something else 

gives me hindsight during my fall

All I Need is Me

Me, Myself, and I

there's Nothing that I can bring

that compares to the power of my Mind
