Wants and Needs

Why is life so difficult? All the time I wonder, Why I stand against lightening But I cower from the thunder. Lightening is life. It’s what causes me to make a choice. The sweet yet forceful sound Of thunder is the sound of your voice. When I cry my endless tears, Why does my heart forcefully bleeds? Why am I constantly torn Between my wants and my needs? I have only one want But my needs are what I need to do. If my needs help hold a better Than I want to need you. My heart says it can Take any blow she will throw, But can I really trust my heart? I don’t know. I want the sweeter things in life But I need the bitter. If my wants lead me to death Then I need to be with her.
