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.

Going to love unconditionally,

I know my personality.

Don't need this scrutiny.

I know who I will be,

Just watch and see.
