Just Want a Happy Life


I live with depravity, Pressure like gravity. Why can't they just see I want to live happily? Surrounded by poverty, The cravings of obesity, Those dreams of reality. Why can't they just see I want to be all I can be? I try to live with simplicity, But I get hit with hostility. People keep telling me You won't live happily. Forget all this negativity. I'm going against normality, Living a life of morality In a world full of brutality. Spitting out blasphemy, Using profanity. Why not be in harmony? Treat strangers like family. Going to love unconditionally, I know my personality. Don't need this scrutiny. I know who I will be, Just watch and see.
