What do I need?

questions

Right now,
I don’t need to count sheep
I don’t need sleep
I don’t need wifi
I don’t need your reply

Right now,
I don’t need fresh air
I don’t need any care
I don’t need chocolate or coffee
I don’t need supper or tea

Right now,
I don’t need a break (a KitKat might do)
I don’t need to know about your hullabaloo
I don’t need music or songs
I don’t need anything my stomach longs

Right now,
I don’t need physical exercise
I don’t need the sunrise
I don’t need advice
I don’t need anything to be precise

Except
A plot, a story
Or an idea to write poetry
And once I have done the deed
All the things I think I don’t need.

  1. Your inspiration is waiting right at the end of next Alley. Just keep looking!!! You need to look hard though, lest you confuse it with a mere digression 🙂🙂
