Needs V/S Wants

Get your needs and wants right.
When your wants meet your needs, it's worthy.
Vice versa, it's going to be unnecessary, temporary and hurtful.

You might want it, but not need it.
Not one bit.

I LIE

Up she goes, down she comes
Giggling aloud while she’d sway
Battered by my envy, she stumbles
Maa shrieks, I lie, a guilty day

Beginning to indulge in enticing sins
Puffing all the pressure by peer
As the hour dies, I write nothing
Paa enquires, I lie, a guilty year

When love turned to pitiful fate
Serene and unjust, it did fade
Dusting out those letters of deceit
Jaan weeps, I lie, a guilty decade

Sinking solitude into history’s dire
I bought bullets and its prior
“You’re gonna be fine, Dad” She called
I nod, I lie, a guilty fire

Uttering few lifeless words
I grasp upon an unknown shoulder
“Welcome to paradise, Shorty”
I try, I can’t, I let go of my moulder

I sincerely let go of my decaying moulder.
And I lie there forever.
