All I Ever Wanted Poem by Akeem Mair

See all i ever wanted was happiness,
in this life of mine
but struggles exist, so that happy place
is hard to find
In my heart, its so blind to me
A small moment of being happy
Can't see it with my eyes
cuz My struggles only create tragedy
See what I wanted was to be free,
free from my struggles
But they always chained to me
Never knew how they all came to me
But somehow they all made for me
I tried to runaway an escape
To a place where I can hide my face
But my struggles financially followed me
and captured me there
Left my pockets diminished
without two quarters to spare
It Doesn't care about true love either
Chased away all of my crushes
All I ever wanted was to find love
But left my heart on crutches
Why struggle? Why do you build walls
around things I ever wanted
Why do you come after me
It's like I'm always being hunted
Why do you always make me give up everything
and leave me with nothing
Why do you keep me on my knees
to the point of surrendering
All of my dreams
you never wanted them in reality
Just tell me why? Why struggle?
Why? Tell me something...
Why keep me from all I ever wanted
