The Most Important Realization

February 8, 2016

I am all I need.

Underneath my moonlight skin,

sure as there are veins full of blood,

sure are there is DNA,

strong bones,

heart, and spine,

there is something deeper,
something more primal,

an intrinsic motivation

pushing me to greatness,

to success.

I am everything I will ever need,

self-sufficient, independent,

fearless.

I am all that I need;

I am not half of anything.
I do not need a man

to complete me.
I am complete

already.

I am all that I need,

all I've ever needed.
