I Needed Me

Another night in bed thoughts racing, me chasing what I thought was what I wanted. I will always want. It’s human nature babies are born wanting attention and to be nurtured. I had everything I wanted. You beside me, you being strong for me; what more could I ask for? Until you were no longer there.. and I realized I had exactly what I wanted. But not what I needed… I had to lose what I wanted to gain what I needed. And what I needed only I can give myself. I was strong enough before and I’m stronger now. I needed to remember, I needed Me.
