Needed
They put you on the path
 And you blindly followed
 Because it was filled
 With promises of better tomorrows
 And brighter futures
 Sunshine daisies butter mellow
 They told you to survive until June
 And you endured
 More than anybody else
 Your ghosts, your angels, your spirits, your demons
 And you crossed the finish line with bloody knees
 And when you got Here
 It was just a re-run episode 
 And you wondered why you listened
 To any of us in the first place
 This is your life
 Take it
 Live for a living
 I am only asking you to exist
 And maybe that’s selfish
 And sometimes I need you 
 More than you need yourself
 And I won’t make you promise me anything
 Because we both know that will
 Only make you feel guilty
 And that’s the last thing I want
 I want you to know
 That you have survived
 You are still here
 And we all still need you
 You are enough
