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??
