What is that you want? Is that your need?

Need- something you have to have, Want -something you would like to have

The story is all about how I flunked carrying “wants” high and denouncing “needs”.

Needs and Wants:

Mother’s willful acceptance of pain, I was born

Beautiful family, a kid’s arrival will adorn

Happiness in everyone were blown                     

Need was a brainy child, rather wants turned me a clown

Aged one, I was a subject of unknowing stunts

Drooling, crawling, falling, leading to accidents

Parents confounded to decipher what I meant

Needs and wants were not clearly apparent

Mother ran breath and length to feed

Bedroom, hall with indifference I peed

Naughtiness soaring, I was an object of heed

Clueless on what is want and what is need

Not so brash, was like the proverbial hare

Mostly with oily and unkempt hair

Education, I was an opposite to my father’s flair

What is need, what is want, I was then unaware

  

Attaining adolescence where wants drove

Pestered father wanting a cricket glove

Farcical it was to have had so much love

A want of mine was unwanted for my dad to owe

The need at that age was good education

Father stood by on that prioritization

Urged me to incline creative imagination

Wants camouflaged needs in confusion

The want for good college did spark

The need for that was good mark

Need could not meet want, faced the bark

Need was to wipe out the remark

Foreseeing on career should have been pivotal

Stereotyped college life, I took it so trivial

Actions and reactions were so farcical

Unequivocally, focus on wants was a sheer betrayal

Wanting of branded items were a height of stupidity

Dizzy to know mother’s affordability

Squabbled with her out of frivolity
The needless want was fulfilled by her generosity 

                                                                                                                                          

Corporate need was intelligence

Mostly faced negligence

I merely wanted an acceptance

By then understood needs and wants in right sense

  

Fulfilling needs is important than wants

Vice versa definitely haunts

Let bygones be bygones

Decide, fulfill needs or incline wants?

Reminiscence of childhood was filled with happiness, nothing else.  Need or want we care a fig until we attain adolescence. There are many factors which throw mud at us on wanting unnecessary holdings. Need, travels with our day to day life.

So decide fulfill NEEDS or incline WANTS??
