How do we know?
Do we truly need something?
Or simply want it?
I want to stay close to my family
But I could live on without them
What do I need? Someone to love,
Not a coat, shoe, or glove.
What I require, is to be human,
To laugh, to live, to be believed in.
It is difficult not to be
Thinking of an island with a single tree,
You ask me what I need
As if without air I can still breathe,
Without water or sunlight I'll be fine.
So
All necessities aside,
I guess I need the world.
It's a lot to ask, but
If I were stuck on a desert island and I think of what I’d need
I think a lot of people underestimate what they’d need to succeed
In keeping themselves alive,
happy, and sane.
