NEEDY

 

I don't feel lonely

sometimes just Need the company

the company to accompany the silence

interrupt the violence plaguing in my mind

Need to hear another breath besides mine breathing rhymes

Need to see the touch of hands

Need to feel the site of another human wanting to survive life in order to live again

even though we're barely breathing

Need life to want to live

Need to give life to a rib that isn't my own

yet I roam with a depleting heart

could barely feel me bleeding half to death

because flesh is Needing to rest in a nest that is not my home

Need to be alone in the company of thoughts in search of shalom

Need space within my space to allow dreams and visions to grow

destiny to show denial that favor and promise overflows

Need to know if these lines are simply rhymes that are entertaining current state of minds

or are minds enlightened as I state these rhythmic lines

Need to know that I am not wasting time

your's or mine

Need light to shine

Need songs and cries

Need love that doesn't lie

Need hate to die...

but if it is

that I stood here

for you to hear

3 minutes of me

to Need you to BE

I Need you to stop

stop Needing me to be your mouthpiece

your heartbeat

your tapping feet

your clapping hand

your minstrel dance

I Need you to stand and speak

"The Word. The Truth. The Need!"
