I Need
Ayakaishi Fei

I don't need your damned approval,
Nor no fucking 'by your leave',
I only need my inner strength,
To live, to dream, to breathe.

I don't need your fucked up caring,
I don't need your damned protection,
I'm 18 come December,
I can live without affection.

I don't need your hugs and kisses,
I don't need your reassurance,
I'm not your bloody plaything boy,
Despite my "cute" appearance.

I don't need your sweet endearments,
Nor your kisses, short and sweet,
I know I say I love you girl,
But love is fickle and lust is fleet.

I don't need to hear your voice,
Or hear your succinct foolish words,
I don't need your fucking "lectures",
On the "birds who love the birds".

I'm self sufficient, self reliant,
I'm all I'll ever need!
Except I find I'm lying,
Without you all - I bleed.

I need your damned approval,
Your love, and your compassion,
I need to know you're here for me,
For advice, for hugs, for passion.

I Need.
