All I Need


All I need,

One thing, just one thing

 

How does one choose?

Deciding despite all the

Distractions, the noise, the chaos.

 

Everything fighting,

Fighting for your attention,

Companies tell us

What we need

 

And we listen

 

We spend our lives

Focussed on things

That don’t even matter

 

We gotta shift our attention;

 

Now I have one chance

One thing I can’t

Live Without

Can’t function Without

 

How could

Just one thing

Hold that much weight in my life?

 

Then I remember

Dedicating

Every day

Every dime

All of my time

To my family

 

It’s easy to forget sometimes,

With all the Corporations, and Cash,

The distractions that pass

 

Family is forever,

They are all I need,

And they will never leave
