I need

I need a cigarette I need a drink
I need to clear my head to think

I need my farther I need my mother
I need my sister I need my brother

I need to scream I need to shout
I need to let all my pain come out

I need to laugh I need to cry
I need to live I need to die

I need to talk I need to tell
I need to get out of this living hell

I need to live in the now
I need to forget the past

I need these things just to survive 
I need these things just to keep me alive.

Needing is the dream, having is the burden. This is a great poem. I'm going to do some sprung cleaning.
