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.
