Lately I've been forgetting my dreams,

and passing by my daily life as if it were a haze.

I can't afford finer versions of simple things,

and that's just fine with me.

I just wanna go to the beach,

and have the waves wash over me.

I wanna drink coffee with my friends,

and feel internally clean.

I just wanna be happy.

Genuinely happy.

All of these little things that mean so much to me,

they are life's essentials and the world's little gifts to me.

I want sun rays to warm my skin,

and keep the bad thoughts from getting in.
