Life Without


To live as a human being, many things are essential

Physically or mentally, there are things we, as humans, cannot live without.

Life without basic needs like food,

Clean and accessible water and aquatic system.

The love and affection from other,

Or maybe just your pet dog that you've had since forever.

 

To be deserted with only one choice,

What would you choose? What would I?

 

Certainly not another!

Why would I put them through a nightmare for my own sake?

And as for an essential item,

There’s too many to choose from.

 

I’d choose the idea of certainty.

It’s not something that I can physically bring,

But its importance is vital.

To have the certainty means to not give in.
