I Wish Life Was Easy Poem by Paula Glynn

I wish life was easy,
Where I didn't feel heartache or despair.
I would just pull the covers away,
On a rainy morning,
Put on my make up and heels,
Get ready for work with cereal and coffee,
Put on my stylish coat and catch the bus,
With no hassle or fuss.

I would turn on my mobile,
And check my voicemail and texts,
With no urgent messages, just a friendly voice,
And nothing to panic over,
And I would arrive at work,
Knowing what tasks I have to do.

Later I would stop off for lunch,
And have a cooked meal at a cafe,
And then settle my stomach with a cappuccino,
And slice of Victoria Sponge,
Without worrying about weight gain or cellulite,
For no diet = no pain.

I would finish up simple tasks in the office,
And have a quick catch-up over the photocopier,
Then I'd catch the bus home,
Where I am not doomed or alone.
And I'd sit down to a delicious dinner,
With my partner and friend to my heart,
Even though on me, I only depend.

I would have a life and explore the glitzy nightlife,
And have the time of my life after the working day is done,
And I'd sit with a vodka & coke or cocktail,
With friends who are dear and close,
And with people whom I'll happily laugh, smile and joke,
And every day and night would be like this,
Everyday I'd feel achievement, order and happiness,
With no false chemical bliss.

For I want a perfect life,
And I'd love it if life was easy,
With no pain, fears or worry.
But this is not impossible,
And I'm starting today,
Because whether it's spring, summer, autumn or winter,
I am always me: intense, smart and free,
Free to live my life how I choose and this way,
And free to be happy every single day,
Love for existence deep inside my heart.
