All I Need


All I need is the will to be.

The will to wake up in the morning- early, on time, or late.

As long as I'm awake, I have all that I need.

The will to breathe- slowly, normally, or much too fast.

The will to let my heart beat its drum- slowly, normally, or out of my chest.

As long as I breathe and my heart can beat, I have all that I need.

All I need is the will to accomplish- early, on time, or late.

As long as I can do, I have all that I need.

 

What is the use in praise or popularity;

Why have followers;

What is the point of things when you have no will to enjoy it all?

I don't need praise, fame, or popularity. I don't need clothes, money, or toys.

All I need is the will to be, and then I have everything.
