All I Need

All I need... Is all that anyone needs. And that is The ability to be me. All I need… Is the freedom promised. For myself For everyone. I am not myself, Not without the people who taught me. Who loved me. Who showed me what being me, even means. All I need… Whether on an island with which you stranded me, Or in a daze, Lost and ever floating in the surrounding sea, Is to stay true. Not one red herring, Wading in waiting. Just my life, Of which I am still living. On my terms, Being myself.
