you took away the fruits of the womb,
along with the dear heart I once
promised ‘forever’ to, with your lies.

all i ever wanted was happiness.
you’ve always been a means
& you’ll always be that to me, dear presidents.

i’m thankful for your absence in those years
when I needed you most.
how else could I have seen all the truth?

you’re still not a god, no matter what you do.
come and be my servants.
you’ve given me hunger and sharper aim.

you’re not only to be blamed, but
all i ever wanted was happiness;
never saw it coming the way that it has.

all i ever wanted was happiness.
