I Want To Be...(Me)


I am a wave Part of the ocean Floating high, floating low And sinking When I crash My highs are So high I give God A high-five My lows are So low I'm not even in existence I am no longer a wave Now I want to be a breathe Always a company To life Always in Need I float in Tickle you tonsel Remind you again Of my Existence I float out Into open air Mingle with other breathes Then am pulled Back in again You need me Then one day You stopped breathing You were no longer In need of me Never mind I want to be... What? What do I really want? I...I... Want to be Needed I want you to need me Because I am me I want you to need me Like you need a Breathe of air I want you to need me Like the waves need the moon To sway them I want you to need me Because I am me

I am an extroadinarily odd human being. I am a born-again christian since age thirteen. I'm naturally a very bubbly, outgoing person who loves the Lord. I enjoy all kinds of art forms, such as drawing, painting, writing, singing, and dancing. I also love to read, talk, and most of all, laugh.
