Unsure

What I want to be and what I want to do.
Who I have to be and what I have to do.
Just think about that for a second. Most of the time, the who I have to be and the what I have to do prevails. For those who can be what they want to be and do what they want to do will live be much happier in life.

What I like about this piece

What I like about this piece is its honesty,

it gets right to the heart of that tug‑of‑war between

who we want to be and who we have to be.

The simplicity of the language makes the truth hit harder:

most of us bend to duty, but the rare moments

when want and have align are where happiness lives.


here is poetry that doesn't always conform

Imagine how much less stress we would have if we could always be ourselves
