Needs and desires

I got what I need

Then I knew I wanted more

I kept on wanting more

Till I got what I needed



Then I realized I want something else

Kept wanting something else

That’s not what I wanted

Once I had it in my hands



I kept chasing better

Till I got the best

The best didn’t seem so good

Now that it’s so near



Then I looked around to see

Whose is better than mine

Then it was just a question

Of mine being better always



Even that was tiring after a while

The stress of looking around

Then I said, to hell with it

I’ll be happy with what I have



But then again I looked around

And my wants and needs arose

Again I wanted something better

Better than what I have
