Wants Vs Needs Poem by Kim Aouad
Wants Vs Needs
Sometimes what you need isn't what you want
Sometimes what you want isn't what you need
Sometimes you don't know what you need
So you go for what you want
And some other times you get what you need even when it isn't what you want
And since what you got isn't what you wanted
You'll not pay enough attention to it
And you'll mistreat it
And eventually you will lose it
And this is when you realise that what you need
Is actually what you really want
But then it would be too late to get it back
Because what gets hurt gets lost
And most of the times isn't easily found, if found at all
The point is
Always cherish what you have
You never know when you might lose it
Even if what you have isn't what you want
Live with it
Stick to it
Believe in it
Take care of it
Don't break it
Don't ruin it for yourself
Don't ruin it for others
Someday you'll understand what I mean
But till then
Promise that you'll never disregard anything
No matter how small
Or silly or useless
it may seem
You touch my soul with your sincere words. A+ person you are my dear.
A profound and positive perspective that is both realistic and refreshing!
I like this one a lot and totally agree. We have what we need in this country all around us. The problem is figuring out what we want.
Two words different in aspect and essence, but often mistakenly interchanged in statements, insightfully differentiated in a well articulated piece of poetry nicely penned with conviction. A lovely poem bristling with knowledge. Need is a necessity where as Want is not. Happiness is in wanting and desiring what we have. Thanks for sharing Kim. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
