Controlling Needs Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Controlling Needs



Wanting a chance to be a person, a friend, in a give and
take relationship without the past interfering at all,
hoping to have an opportunity to meet problems head on.

Becoming stronger through them, wanting to learn how to
control needs that are no longer needed to carry the
past anymore.

Seeing brightness in happiness and joy, allowing it to
lodge itself within for the rest of life, seeking a place
in life without looking for anything from others.

Relying on inner expertise in matters of choice, learning
to be self-reliant and independent, the way life stands
within itself.

Casting off any needs that were flung upon a defenseless
child wanting to grow emotionally, reaching out, tired of
being angry and isolated.

Requirements set long ago are being let go, learning to
be real, self-exposed to the world, full of life, gifts
and talent to share with everyone.

Forging a new path, creating a life that has been waiting
to be born, wanting to live free and independent, beginning
today, this minute.
