I Want Happiness

I keep wondering if happiness is only for a chosen few 
I guess  it's for the lighter skin or the persons born in wealth 
I can  only guess 
I keep fighting for this thing call happiness 
I keep running after it.. I can't seem to catch up  to it 
I wonder if I am just not Blessed enough 
I feel like all I do is guess and wonder about this thing call happiness 
All I want is happiness 
To wake up with the man I love and be sure he feels the same... Crazy passionate love
To not dream about having a good life but really living one
Stop praying for cash to come but having cash in hand... I could even give away a few
Not just seeing friends going on  a vacation but really taking one 
Not dreaming of a wonderful life...really Living one
I just want to wake up in happiness so tired of chasing after things I can't seem to get 
All I want is happiness so tired of waking up to this loveless mess of confusion... All I want is happiness
