Need to need


All I need is the need to need.

What would we be with immortality,

With the universe at our fingertips?

What would we be with ultimate power,

With nothing to stop us from breaking and recreating the world each second?

 

There is only positivity while there is negativity,

No Yin without Yang.

We dont have the pleasure of a good meal,

Without the constant possibility of inpending starvation.

We dont enjoy a quiet moment,

Without the intolerable droning of the world at all other times of the day.

We dont make the most of our lives,

Without the knowledge that we will one day lose it.

 

I take the need to need.

My mortality.

My weakness and dependence.

 

Because as long as I have nothing,

I have everything.
