The Need

The need to write-
The need to put words on the page-
The need to be justified-
The need to feel I am working-
The need to free myself of the anxiety-
The need to say what I feel-
The need to ask for help-
The need to be heard -
The need to be approved of-
The need to be recognized-
The need to be loved-
The need to be loved.
