What I need


Money,

Thats the main answer many would give,

But what is money to a place where it doesn't belong,

Music, 

Yes you can bring your own music,

But you have two moving hands you have your vocals,

Sing the world out,

Art,

But what good is it if you can't show anyone how you truely feel,

Weapons for hunting, 

Funny because not so long ago you said you would never hurt your pet yet here you are killing a living creature,

Friends,

But how would they save you,

Everyone knows every man for himself,

Lover,

This isn't a vacation,

Solitary will hurt you the most,

I would take my mother,

You might ask why her over anyone or anything,

You see my mother was an engineer,

She is a brllent women ,

Who I can sololy trust,

She gave up her career for me,

Never once looked back,

She would give up her life for me,

She almost did giving birth to my brother,

She is a inventor,

She helped me with every science project,

Optimist, 

Nevre pulling me down alwaypulling me up,

She knows so much about life skills since she grew up in diffrent situations,

Problem solver,

She can change someones life,

She has changed mine,

I can't live without my mother,

She has gone to far for me to leave her behind,

A mother 24/7

A friend 24/7,

A listener always,

never someone to judge but someone to go to,

I admire this women not only because she is an amazing cook,

But because she is my best friend since I was a child,

I know that if I ever get stranded somewhere,

My mother would figure out how to get out,

How to navigate,

How to store food,

How to explain the beauty of nature,

She is the person I would get stranded with.
