All I Need


What do I need?

The keys to a car 

Bought for me?

What do I need?

To be the life 

Of the Party?

What do I need?

Someone to love 

Me?

What do I need?

Precious thoughts 

That bring me life?

What do I need?

I need to be free

To have these shackles 

Taken off of me

All I need is to 

Keep the bad 

Thoughts living

Inside of me

Out

Get Out!

What do I need?

For them to 

Stay away from me.

I need to be free

I see the world 

But does it really

See me?

What do I need?

I need to mend 

This broken

Tree

Called 

Me. 

Maybe,

That is

All I need.
