Does not need but wants

Merely one she already has
And does not need but wants
She does not want to need and also
In sense she needs to want
Desiring nothing more
Than the nothing that already is
She still wants to have everything

And everything to give

You build a home, it collapses on you

You build a home, it collapses on you
It is better to find shelter next to a rock or hill
For those cannot be knocked in to kill you
Or sleep on the ground,
And assume you won't be stepped on.
Those so keen of self-protection
Who build uneasy roofs and shabby walls
Even taking the energy to design
It is foolishness,
Nothing lasts forever.
In a land so full and bustling
Lifestyle revolving around new trade
Slow die men of cowardice
Hiding in boxes,
Never letting go of anything.
Long live sore-footed travelers
Goods brought from farthest lands
Daring thievery, disloyalty, physical pain
Or heartbreak,
Whatever torment life delivers
Wanderers resilient regardless

Overcoming and homefree
