Happiness?

I always thought that happiness was as complex as the female species,
I've got this but I need that, why don't I have this and why don't I have that?

There was always something I wanted, that I thought would make me happier,
I need to lose weight but I also want to eat that cake,
I need more clothes and maybe a piercing on my nose?

But I realised it's only temporary
Plus the amount I've spent is kind of scary
Just to feel a disappointing flare of joy

My new passport came through today and I smiled ear to ear
I realised everything I wanted and ever will is right in front of me here

I've got my drivers license, my bank card, my passport and my thrive
Nothing can stop me, nothing can get in my way anymore, I'm alive

All these necessities are my ticket to personal and unconditional freedom,
Maybe people around the world will remember the name Emma Theedom
