I Don't Need Much
I care little for luxuries.
Material things like clothing, electronics, and jewelry mean nothing to me.
I don't listen to society.
Media has no influence on who I am or what I do.
I shy away from extravagance,
Opting instead to focus on the simpler beauties of life.
I don't need much.
There is but one thing that I cannot live without.
Purpose.
I don't need much.
But without a purpose, I have no reason to live.
I don't need much.
Just a drive, a reason, a passion.
I have many passions
And numerous reasons for me to be alive.
I can't possibly name them all,
but a few are my love for my family and friends, my curiosity and thirst for knowledge, my passion for music, m-
Oh.
Maybe I need more than I think I do.
I need a purpose, but that word encompasses a great deal more than I thought.
Perhaps I really do need much.
