needs

By witch

 time is killing me day by day by day

the thrill is reprimanding my
wayward mind and wrapping it up in knots
dying but at least im standing

its falling crushing breaking
its broken FUCK!
insatiable need is tearing at the fabric of my sanity
but laughing is all the same
to be recognized
opinionized
acknowledged by both ears and eyes
tooth and nail until the crying dies
laugh as it falls away

whats the difference
you dont need it 
it needs you to want it
lie for it die for it wanting needy craving greedy fuck stains that you all are

theres a difference between needs and wants
the difference is understanding 
which crumbles under the stumbling feet of the drunk fumbling meek
down troubled streets and every where i go
people just keep walking by the numbers without listening to every beat and tone of the heart 
watch it all fall apart
i rant and i rave
shoulder a little of the depravity grasping for a mic and some cash that he
can save but rash that he chose
soldiers clash with a rose
rabid maybe life is ending his prose because rhyming just isnt as easy as it used to be
i need me 
a little bit of the old me
