Poem Title:
Poem
Realize (What You Need) I remember when we first met; I saw a pretty face But what I need in my life is someone real In my experience (and that’s not much), but vanity, seemed just for touch What I need is someone who can feel What I need is someone who can feel Why is it that the one we want; seems far away or so out of touch Why is it that the one I want; is not the one I need She’s not; she’s not the one for me The time has past and I’ve arrived; at the same confusion in her eyes But I know what she wants and it’s not me She’s so much more than what I thought; she’s not just a pretty face But I know what she wants and it’s not me Desire clouds our minds to what we need Why is it that the one we want; seems far away or so out of touch Why is it that the one she wants; is not the one she needs Why cant; why can’t she see me I came to realize that I was blind; and all I want I would never find As long as I kept following desire Bur now when we talk I can feel my smile; and all my days now seem worth while Suddenly, my cold life has a fire Finally, my cold life has a fire Why is it that the one we want; seems far away or so out of touch Why is it that the one I want; does NOT (feel the same for me) ~~~~~~~~ Forget about what you think you want, and focus on what you need Forget about all you fear inside, have faith in what you believe You gotta be strong; you gotta be proud You gotta stand up; you gotta be loud You’ll find everything that you want, when you realize what you need You’ll find everything that you want, when you realize what you need Cause I found everything that I want When I realized; what, I need And now my needs are clear to me; I talk to you all the time Your blind…. ness is what keeps us apart If only you would open up; and see me for who I am I think that you would see me with your heart Oh, close your eyes and open up your heart Why is it that the one we want; seems far away or so out of touch Why is it that the one you want; is NOT the one you need Why can’t; why can’t you see me I remember when we first met; cause I saw your pretty face But I, fell in love with you, because you’re…. reeeeal! © 2013 Jeffrey Spencer
