Needs

I’m always there

For those who

Need my help

For advice

To vent

A shoulder

To listen

To be a friend

For work related issues

To understand

Their point of view

In complicated situations

It’s my nature

To always be there

Never turning anyone away

Even when I don’t agree

Or in the mood

But what about

My needs

Have the one I love

Feel the same way

Unconditionally

To feel secure

In all aspects of life

To be accepted

Regardless of faults

And differences

Difficult to share

My own thoughts

Without fear of being judged

Only a few

Would understand

My need

To be happy

And at peace
