In the depths of our hearts, a question lingers,
Whom should we live for, fingers pointing, thinkers?

Should we dance to the tune of others’ desires,
Or follow our own path, stoking inner fires?

To live for others is to sacrifice our truth,
Bending and shaping, losing our youth.

But to live for oneself, in a solitary embrace,
Can leave us adrift, in a lonely space.

Do we weigh our happiness against connections deep,
Or forsake our bliss for relationships to keep?

In this dance of life, a delicate balance we find,
Between self and others, heart and mind.

Perhaps the answer lies in a harmony bold,
Where love for ourselves and for others mold.

For in the end, it is the blend of both,
That gives life its meaning, its radiant growth.

Try to walk this path with courage and grace,
Embracing ourselves and others in this intricate embrace.
