I don't need

I don't need you to agree with me, I'll go away happy with a little bit of doubt. Doubt is good. It's an emotion we can build on. Perhaps if we feed it with curiosity it will blossom into something useful, like suspicion - and action.

I don't expect you to understand.

I don't need help, because the help I need is the help that neither you nor I understand.

I don't need you to feel sorry for me.

I don't need pity.

I need respect.

I need time, your time to listen.

I need patience, your patience to wait, when I fumble and stumble, hobble and stutter as I desperately try to find the words I need to tel what my brain is telling.

I need your greatness, that you rise above yourself and see that this time it's not about you.

I need you to see me as I was, as who I really am.

I need your help to understand, not the lost, not the sorrow, not the pity.

I need you to be the strong one now.

I just need a big hug, that you're here, without me asking for it.

I don't need.

Thank you for reading!
