Shahana Jackson Poet I do not know?

I Need Something

I don't have the world. I don't need it. All I want is a little bit of happiness. Something to keep 
me warm at night. It doesn't have to be love or money. But I need something. Feeling a little 
empty like a milk carton left gone dry. No one to help me and all I want to know is when does my 
reward come? I've been doing this not complaining. Secretly all I want it a bright future. So tired 
of window shopping. My life I just want to settle down and relax. I wanna know that I will be ok. I 
wanna know that god will take care of me. I am so unsure of my destiny. This makes me tired. I 
don't want the world you can keep it. Just a small portion for my dreams is all I need to set me 
free. But all I wanna is am I going to be happy. How long will have to wait before I get my 
answer? Do I have to do all the walking to get to what I've been looking for? I know things don't 
come easy but nothings ever been easy for me. I need something to ease the hurt at night. 
What will that something be? To help me stand up when I feel like falling. I've search along time 
and this could finally be the spot that i've been looking for. Show me sign. I need something.
