Happi—ness. A poem by Hudson River.

I dream of being happy.

I dream of going home.

I dream of falling in love,

and I dream of being loved.

-

I don’t want to be greedy.

I don’t want to be selfish.

I just want to be happy,

is that too much to ask?

-

I don’t know who to be any more,

I don’t know 

how

to

be.

I just want to be happy,

I just want to be 

me.

-

I dream of beautiful oceans and purple skies.

I dream of playing and jumping,

not a care in the world,

not a problem to solve.

I dream of being happy,

but every day I wake up

and

am

not.
