I Need Me


I need me.

I need myself more than anyone else,

nobody else really matters.

But here's the thing- along with me comes 

my family

my three close friends

my faith

Why? Because they're apart of me.

They make me who I am,

when I hurt them in my times of suffering,

I'm only hurting myself.

At times I lose my passion to be me,

then I make a quick decision-

I'm happier as me,

I will always need me.
