All You Need

Don’t tell me what I can be 

Cuz you don’t have a clue

I won’t bother explaining- 

Nah, this poem is not for you

This poem is for the rebels

With or without a cause

The ones who have “too big” of dreams

I beg you, take no pause

Don’t listen when They tell you

To focus, change your plans

That there’s “more to it” than just Knowing

Somehow, that you can

Don’t listen to the haters 

(Cuz that’s just what they are)

Please, keep believing in your soul

I KNOW you will go far

Who are they to tell you

What can or can’t be done?

Who are they to lay the path

And tell you where to run?

They had their chance to do it

And maybe their way works

But so does yours, stick to your guns!

Put YOUR heart’s guidance first!

It doesn’t always make sense

(In truth, it rarely will)

But what you want, it wants you too

Before, after, and still

So when those voices pipe up,

I pray you’ll pay no heed 

Cuz God gave YOU your dreams, your goals;

You’ve got all that you need.

More

I’m more than a date

I’m more than a fuck

More than potential

More than a quick buck 

I don’t cease existing

When you don’t need me 

I have my own wants

I have my own needs

I am not your plaything 

Don’t toss me away

When it’s clear that “no”

Is a word that I say

If you can’t come to me

With friendship, with care

With more than just requests

Then do not you dare

Don’t you come at me

With “pleases” and “why”s

If that’s all you have for me

Don’t waste my time

But if you can see past 

My body, my face

To the soul inside me

Then come, take your place

‘Cause friends I will welcome

With arms open wide

And I think you’ll like 

Having me by your side

So next time you’re thinking

“She’d look nice in bed”

I hope you’ll think back

To the words that I’ve said:

We are all PEOPLE;

Not here just to please

And if you think we are,

YOU’RE part of the disease
