Need.

Driven farther than extinction,
I find myself failing.
I am pushing a car with a tank full of gas,
I am the one running on empty.

The feeling is not universal,
I find myself thinking.
I am fishing for an impossible animal,
I am the one who is baitless.

There can be no convincing,
I find myself realizing.
I am wishing for something unrealistic,
I am the one without a clue.

The modern savior surrounds me,
I find myself paralyzed.
I am seeing someone so contradictory,
I am the one who needs you.
