Necessity

Necessity

You don't
Have to

You don't have to
Have a good day
Smile, wave, and
Be friendly

You don't have to
Have a bad day
Yell, bicker, and
Be mean

You don't
Have to

Make it through every day
Entirely on your own
Or ask for help
From anyone

You don't
Have to

Even when this world
Is so much bigger than you
More significant than you
Unending and unforgiving

You don't have to
