Just Like This Poem by Alan Strand

If I could be just like this
I’d be O.K.
No sadness at night time
No darkness in the day.

I could go for a walk
And breathe in fall’s fresh air,
I could view myself clearly
I would never have despair.

I’d go see all my friends
And work out a real lot,
I’d be all so happy
Even though I’m not.

I’d make my life fresh
It’s a cleaned up slate,
I’d try many new things
I’d go out on a date.

I’d sit on my sun deck
And take in the rain,
It’s a beautiful day
Do you think I’m insane?

I’d do all this stuff
To live in such bliss,
I‘d like to get over you-
Just like this.
