Wishes!

Why do you want to fulfill your wish
Isn't wish everything we live for?
Then why to kill one of our precious
Just to prove I can achieve what I wish for?

Its such a nice feeling
Carrying a wish unfulfilled.
And teasing the wish every now and then
By providing it the hope of being achieved.

What does one get by fulfilling a desire
Just the momentary satisfaction.
And what about the emptiness that follow
Emptiness created by the missing fraction.

One wish is replaced by another wish unclear
But what if the present wish is too dear
And I refuse to exchange it for some other
Why should I uselessly bother.

Should I do it to please my ego
To show I can get whatever I dreamt.
Or should I act indifferent
Rise above the worldly and be a saint.

If it would have been my way
I would always keep my wish alive.
But wishes are bound to change
Then why to deny the satisfaction we can derive.

But I won't do it to mend my ego.
Nor I ll show I have risen over it long ago.

I would rather live my life for my wishes
And mark my life by those fulfilled.

Instead of counting days and years
For which I have breathed and lived.
