The Need of Life


   The need of life is simple

At least thats how we think

Its shelter, food, and water

After all we have to drink.

With all the simple basics

We can and will survive

But we'll fall in depression

without the need to strive

Its a dark place to be

many and many are there

Living there lives for nothing

Its just to much to bare

Chances you must take

A chance you might fail

A chance is much better

then living to the bell

You must look forward

keep the past behind

To live is different 

then wanting to survive

To live this is needed

A basic need to strive
