Needs


Look around the room

your all alone with this.

it's funny but you don't laugh

it's sad but you don't cry

You don't understand but you do.

You see all these people but you don't feel the need to talk.

You feel the need to listen .

Life is a messed up thing that nobody understands.

But you do.

You understand the need for others even if they don't

You understand the pain, misery, and dispare of the need.

You also understand the love, compasion, and mystery in life. 

The need to understand is small to everyone but yourself.

So you take your need and keep it hidden.

You look around the room again and see everything differently.

You see people dealing with life the way it is supose to be dealt with. 

They, just like you, have a need to live, breath, love, and even forgive everything in life.
