Can't Live Without Myself


What can I not live without…?

A book?

A dream?

A dish?

A phone?

A person?

No.

I cannot live without…

Myself.

For who will I be

if I wondered the world

not able to be…me?

For who will I be

if I could not accept

myself?

Yes, it may sound funny.

A bit unusual.

But if you cannot live with yourself…

Then who are you to be?

Sometimes my thoughts can go deep within the philosophical part of our brains or deep within the warmth of our hearts.
