In each of us there exists a Shade of need
In some its a mountain. In some its a seed.
In some its a sore that will fester to greed
In some a Heart that for others will bleed.
and the strength of the need will lead us along
to a life that's right or a life that's wrong.
It will cause us to succeed or cause us to fail
depending on what the need does entail.
It's not a need that we always control
but it selects the paths down which we stroll
So of the need we need to be aware
and if its in control we need beware.
~ By Shade O the Past (David M. Smoak)
