What do I need?


I take a breath to open my eyes

A leap of faith, jumping beyond the skies

To see the world and what lies beyond

Never to fade into armageddon

 

Though to this pattern I’ve fallen pray

The routine of the day

So I take another step, take another breath

Merely existing in time, every second closer to death

 

But in what do I live for?

What do I need?

A life that is worth living

Is what it means to succeed.
