I WANT

I WANT, yes I do, I WANT


Not to be confused with need


Need implies weakness, and a loss of control


Power and doing are encased in “I WANT”


There are things I WANT to have


Places I WANT to experience


Material wants, things to own


Things I WANT to earn,


Giving freedom in the earning


So much I WANT to learn


Wiser for diverse knowledge


Emotional wants, I WANT to love


And give love in return


I WANT to be a part of something good


I WANT to be noble and live with dignity


I want to use wisdom


Listening often, speaking less


I WANT

Wise use of words that signify your passion for live and the ever striving to achieve the things we want out of that live.

I like your concept of "I Want" contrasted against "I Need". When you want something, goals are set to attain it. When you need it--well, you said it--weakenss and loss of control. Good write.

Wants. Needs. Sometimes hard to tell the difference...excellent write, Karen.
