The Thing

The thing.

The only thing.

The only thing that I need

is everything I was made to believe that I needed

 

The thing(s) -

do I really need anything but my own

thoughts – or have they been perverted enough,

to think that my thoughts need more than just-

my thoughts?

 

The thing I realize I need.

The thing that takes away the worry from my thoughts,

that think my thoughts need more than just- my thoughts,

The thing that takes it away -

distracts-

prevents-

This thing... is love

 

This thing I need to calm my thoughts,

that used to think my thoughts needed more than that,

 

This is the only thing I might really need.

This thing... to help me realize myself

This thing.
