Some Things I Do Not Need

maydanae

Here are some things I do not need

So from my goals I do not roam:

 

I do not need goodnight texts

I do not need calls

I do not need my phone at all

I do not need this music

I do not need these useless podcasts

I do not need my headphones

I do not need to these poems

I do not need these rhymes

I do not need to be on time

I do not need to drive

I do not need to work all day

I do not need to make connections

I do not need video games

I do not need board games

I do not need to play

I do not need sugar

I do not need processed foods

I do not need the carbs

I do not need more money

I do not need more fame

I do not need to hear my name on stage

I do not need to sing

I do not need to dance

I do not need romance

I do not need lovers 

I do not need friends

I do not need pets

 

So I cleanse myself of all non-necessities

And now I am alone

But upon observing all the life around me

Does it even need my own?

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem really emphasizes how it feels when I feel I'm too much of a burden to people. I tell myself I don't need anyone or distractions, but I often think of what life would be like if I didn't have all of those things.

    Never felt better than when I got rid of all I didn't need. Everything but cloths, house, food, and dishes. A great message and nicely done
