"I just want to be happy," I said, as tears fell down my face I just want to be happy and get the hell out of this place. I just want to be happy but I know I'll never feel that here in this place where love is scarcely shown and most time is spent in fear... I just want to be happy I don't wanna measure up to some stupid freaking standards that society made up I just want to be happy I just want to feel free I just want to feel secure... like I can actually be me I want to lay down my burden kick my heels up & relax... I just want to be happy... Is that too much to ask?

I just want to be happy
"I just want to be happy," I said, as tears fell down my face I just want to be happy and get the hell out of this place. I just want to be happy but I know I'll never feel that here in this place where love is scarcely shown and most time is spent in fear... I just want to be happy I don't wanna measure up to some stupid freaking standards that society made up I just want to be happy I just want to feel free I just want to feel secure... like I can actually be me I want to lay down my burden kick my heels up & relax... I just want to be happy... Is that too much to ask?
Happiness seems to evade me at every turn... stupid me...I forget...I'm not meant to be happy...when will I ever learn?
