What I Can't Live Without


Some people can’t live without the basics:

Water, food, shelter

And the latest season of The Bachelor.

But me?

I’m a little bit more complicated than that.

 

I need a purpose.

 

The Earth does not spin around the sun

Because it feels like it,

And the moon does not wax and wane

Just because it can.

Seasons change, tides shift,

And I am still here.

There must be a reason-

Some greater plan

That I am a part of.

 

But anyway, did you see the latest episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians?
