Is There a Need
Is there a light you cannot see?
Is there darkness you cannot feel?
Do you need to know what you’ll be?
Do you need the world to make you feel real?
I’m a little lesser when I have more
Explains the more I feel when I have less
To have a lesser heart beating its core
Will I have the perfect death to finally rest?
What more do I always need?
Why not lesser... why is there always a need for something?
Is it because I have what I cannot keep?
Or the constant need to fill the space I’m short off from nothing
I think we are all short changed in life
I think we learn to expect too much
I think we are too bored with the idea to just survive
Simply why I don’t think we are living as such
If you have the light... what do you see?
If in darkness... what do you feel?
Do you need to know what you’ll be?
Or have you just yourself to make you real...?
