One Wish

Is it so wrong

To wish for a life of freedom,

Of happiness undisturbed?

Really, there is only one

Thing I truly want

To live without nagging fear,

To exist without crushing anxiety

Even if only for a day,

I want to live with nothing

But sheer happiness,

Exuberant joy

I don't need anything else

This is all I ask for,

Just a simple request

It's not too much, right?

So why hasn't my only wish

Been granted yet?
