Life As We Knew It

Juxtaposition. Ideals. Needs vs. Wants. Finding Happiness.

I don't need your sympathy,
just someone to see the haze I see,
I don't need my memories,
just a reality that believes I'm not crazy,

I don't need your golden caging,
just an education that's costing money,
I don't need your loyalty,
just some stability to keep us happy,

I don't need “factually”,
just a true, honest identity,
I don't need anxiety,
just some butterflies to keep it exciting,

I don't need a friend,
just a person wanting to smile with me,
I don't need your love,
just the dog lying by me as I'm dying.

I don't need “factually”,
just a true, honest identity,
I don't need anxiety,
just some butterflies to keep it exciting,

I love the whole piece, especially that stanza
