Didn’t Need It
I just jumped off the rat race bus
Didn’t Need It
I thought I had to chase
what everyone else wanted.
The big dream, the name
the glow of being seen.
Tried to speak like them,
move like them.
Like maybe I’d matter more.
I actually made less of me.
It wore me down
all that reaching.
nothing felt mine
not even my smile.
I used to think
success meant noise,
meant being noticed
meant getting picked.
How wrong,
peace came quietly
when I stopped running,
when I let myself
just be still, be the real me.
Now I don’t chase, No.
don’t twist or shrink. No.
I make my own way
and it fits just fine.
This is all I need.
