*Want Vs Need*

 


A baby wants a hug; a hold, 

But truly needs only a touch of comfort.


A teenager wants popularity,

But in reality they need to hide their insecurities


Children want their parent's blessings, 

But actually all they need is a validation 


A parent wants to be proud of their children, 

Real need is just to feel the purest form of love


A professional wants glory, fame & money, 

But the need is just a plain vanilla acceptance 


A spouse wants a settled life with a partner,

But actually need is for right companionship


A traveler wants to explore the world,  

True need is to get new experiences & come back to home sweet home 


We want our religions to imbibe in us the right teachings,

But our striving need is just connectedness 


A human wants and desires more power,

But really the need is just a listening ear


Ultimately, we all want just about everything,

Alas, in true sense we just need to connect with our self-identity.
