Wants Vs Shoulds

We all want what we want And feel it's what we deserve Through life's ups and downs Through actions and words At the moment we're born We start wanting our wants Before we've even learned Of the do's and the dont's The wants don't always add up To what it is we should do As pressures continue to mount We should align with the truth That the shoulds care for each other The shoulds reach goals and dreams While wants bring down one another As they over power the needs So let's do what we should Not letting wants have their way Without want's clogging life's path Ahead should be better days MH
