Why Don'T We Want What Wants Us

WHY DON'T WE WANT WHAT WANTS US?

The world is full of selfish people
Since we only need what we want
Forgetting what wants us
Different people, different personalities
Not only should we care about our feelings 
Why not consider those who care
Who would do anything just to see us smile

Egoism has become a conscious action
No one will ever be perfect
Can we really get all we want?
Unfortunately, what we want never wants us
While we don't want what wants us

If there is time for change
Let's change place and switch lives
If change is the only constant thing
Why not change what wants you
to what you want?

A state of dilemma; arduous toil
Which to pick in the conflicting positions
What we want or what wants us?
If altruism still exists
Why not go for what wants you?
Since egoism is the order of the day
Why not go for what you want?
