All I Need Could Be
All I need
Could be
Any number of things
Really.
But your lips sound dazzling,
A smile would be pleasing,
and I don't think I'd mind if time began freezing.
The one thing I need
To live on
As who I may be
Is just that;
Me.
All I need is who I am.
My mom ain't proud of me,
My dad don't hardly know me,
And friends are all rather picky
On how
I am to portray myself
As if my display of self
Will be a mockery-
A betrayal for be-headment
Where they'll display it on the shelf.
All I need is a smirk in the mirror
And a thought
Bubbling up
To find
Whatever it is that will be mine.
All I need is myself
And who I am.
That's all anyone needs really.
If you have yourself
Honestly
Then you've got a lot of company,
And you could have even more,
As long as you can sift through the scrutiny.
All I need is me;
I am who I say I am.
And I say I'm what I need.
