I Just Wanna Be Happy Poem by Randy McClave

I don't wanna argue or fight
From pain I seek no pleasure or delight,
Nor do I want to hit or smite
Or hate someone because of spite.
I just wanna be happy.

I don't wanna curse or yell
Nor do I wanna send someone's soul to hell,
In me I do not want vengeance to dwell
Lies and gossip I do not wanna hear or tell.
I just wanna be happy.

I do not want my life as a battlefield
Where I must carry a sword and a shield,
Where stress and worries will constantly build
Then where my destiny will be sealed.
I don't wanna squabble, quarrel or bicker
Nor do I wanna attack him or sick her,
I don't want my rage to become any quicker
It all makes me depressed, and sicker.

I don't wanna feud today
Nor insults or disrespect do I wanna say,
For our sins and wrongs that price we must pay
With my head bowed, I just wanna walk away.
I just wanna be happy.

I don't wanna be mournful or sad
I most certainly don't wanna be vengeful or mad,
Nor do I wanna feel heavy hearted or bad
I don't want pain and anguish to make me glad.
I just wanna be happy.
