My 3 Needs (True Love, Success, Immortality)

To be completely honest I only need 3 things

True love, success and immortality

People often ask me what I wanna be when I’m of age

And all I gotta say is that I want to be whatever’ll get me paid

But of course I’m joking, I won’t do just anything

However I feel my success will ultimately lead to my immortality

And when I say this word, I don’t mean to live forever ‘cause no one can

But I want my memory and last name live on when I’m dead and gone

My success will be based of my willingness on doing one thing

And one thing only, my willingness to put in the hard work necessary

Not to sell my soul, but be able to work hard for the man

Any man, I’m not speaking of just the government

Will I be able to do what’s necessary for me?

At this point I can honestly say….No

I don’t have quite have working mind set just yet

Or the know-how from years of experience

But I’ll get there it’s just a matter of time

Like waitin’ for that fine, aged wine

And if my success and memory tie together what about true love

A woman to take care of, kiss and hug

Honestly, I think of this unknown woman more than anything else

More than death, more than my health, more than any kind of future success

'Cause to me, true love equals happiness…

Or is this just me being naïve?

No one’s really taught me about women besides………

Every month kind of things, and emotional mood swings

Of course I’ve heard stereotypes that women are confusing

But the only confusion I feel is when I’m thinkin’ about myself

Whether or not I’m want to be involved sports, law, or some kind of therapy

My mind is always wandering on what this future woman will look like

How she’ll act; will she be a mother hen type of woman

Just like me, but only a woman

My polar opposite kind of a woman

Will this woman stay true to me or stray?

Will I be able to stay faithful to this woman if things get hard?

Will she be into the arts?

Is this an adventurous woman?

A stay-at-home, eat popcorn and watch movies all day type woman?

Will she be a lazy woman?

Is she a quiet woman?

A passionate woman?

What will her name be?

Will she ever take my last name? (Maybe)

Will I ever find the right woman?

There are so many questions I have for this future woman

Considering the hopeful fact that God will bless me with this woman

Every time I dream about this woman, she’s faceless but I always hear her voice

Her silky voice never changes

My dreams about this woman are hazy, but I can smell and hear everything

But the funny thing about her voice, is that it’s so familiar yet so foreign

The only consistent thing about this dream woman

Her hair never feels the same in my dreams

Her skin tone always changes, yet her personality always stays the same

I know one thing for certain

I don’t want a woman to worship me or tell me I’m the greatest

I only want a woman who’ll love me unconditionally

That’s all I ask

If my future woman is feminine and girly, I’ll gladly accept

If my future woman is tomboyish and boisterous, I’ll never reject

I often ask myself will I be able to make the first move

Or will this future woman beat me to the punch

Will we take things slow, be friends first or jump right in

Will she accept the fact that I want to stay celibate till that fateful day

Will she understand that our future offspring (If God is willing) will lead to my immortality?

Does this future woman ever think of her future man?

The future man that will put this woman on a pedestal

And make her feel like she’s the only woman in existence

I think of this woman constantly

Constantly wondering if this woman will ever be

What I imagined her to be

I wish I had the answers now

But I won’t know now ‘cause there shall be no peeking

Now I won’t know if my memory will live on forever

Or if I’ll be working and living on successfully

But after all this you now know my 3 needs

True love, success, and immortality

I was inspired by Kendrick Lamar's Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst. The beat is beyond dope and the hook really got to me. When the lights shut off, and it's my turn to settle down, my main concern; promise that you will sing about me. And that is of course, what brought on the immortality part of this poem. And if I wanted anyone to sing about me, I'd want it to be my true love of course. And who doesn't want success? I would've added 2 more things, but I dropped that from the poem and I'm gonna save those 2 topics for a rainy day. :giggle: And everything about the woman I dream of, is totally true. I do dream about this unknown woman a lot. Hopefully the lines about the woman aren't too corny. :P But goin' back to the poem as a whole; this was so easy to write, it kind of shocked me. Things were flowing so smoothly, I'm glad it came out the way it did. This is actually the longest poem I've posted to deviantART so I hope you guys like this. And of course if y'all do, don't be afraid to comment or fave this piece. Or y'know, if you hated it (Which I hope you didn't), you can let me know about that too. LOL!
And if this poem were to accompany anything musically, it would of course be the beat I mentioned earlier. I'll definitely post a link to it, below.

Constructive critisicm is always welcomed. :)

This is really cool! :clap::clap::clap:
May I point out though, the "<nobr></nobr>"s that were left in your poem~>

"Every month kind of things, and emotional <nobr>mood swings</nobr> "

"Will I ever <nobr>find the right</nobr> woman?"

"If <nobr>my future</nobr> woman is feminine and girly, I’ll gladly accept"
