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
