Need

i dont need
anyone else
to be happy...
i need to make peace
with myself...

i need everyone else
to be fulfilled...
i cant breathe
unless you're breathing...

i dont need
accolades, pats on the back,
or bribes...

but i do need
to be treated with respect...
and allowed my dignity...

i'll do the same
for you!
