Analysis of The Joy I wish
Is joy still a name
Or am I still the same
For nothing has ever made me understand
Why joy always never came
I've heard them say
That when it comes it always stays
But for me
It's always been a fairytale
Is joy for the rich instead
For I see some of us
Are always delayed to have
It's always something one's wished to have
And a little precious and too hard to get
The joy I've always wished I had
