ALL I REALLY WANT
Written by Alana Cheng
All I really want out of life | Is to be truly happy | For the night has come | To carry me away | To say goodbye to the painful heartache | I have endured | For the longest time | All my life | As there were those | That had once broken my heart | And although it was once hard | To move on from | The depression which had one | Lingered around in my soul | For quite some time | I knew that by the end of it all | I would be able to | Say goodnight to the sounds of the lovely moonlight | Of such fond memories | Of the best of times | And yet | The worst of times as well | But through it all | My heart would still beat | For the hope of something good to come | From within myself |
For all I really want | At this point in my life | Is to take the time | To get to know myself | A little bit more | With some peace and quiet | As I have been | Lost amongst the noise | All my life | Screaming from the inside | For people to hear me | As time waits for no one | Of any kind | In particular | So I am beginning | To no longer care | About what others will think of me | Anymore unlike before | As I no longer give a flying piece | Of a broken record | About how I will be viewed | And all that matters to me | Is whether or not | I am happy | ‘Cause in the end | I most truly want to be | As everything changes | And nothing stays the same forever | For I don’t care anymore | ‘Cause I’m not afraid | To be who I am | And all I really want | Is to be filled | With nothing but positive energy | ‘Cause all I really want | Out of my whole entire life | Is to just be absolutely happy.
