The Need I Know (Day 8)

It's easy for me to tell you what I want.
I want shoes, books ,
love, friends,
glitter, sharpies,
clothes, happiness.

What I need is another question,
all together.
I hardly ever know what I need
and when I think do,
I'm wrong.

I thought I needed certain vices
that nearly killed me.
I thought I needed certain people,
who only stabbed me in the back
or just simply
left.

But it isn't hard to know
that I truly need you.
