I'd Like to Write a Poem

I’d like to write a poem
That’s both uplifting and carefree,
With rainbows, smiles and lollipops
Where real life ought to be.

A poem that paints a landscape
Where we all would like to live,
Where everyone is happy
And there’s nothing to forgive.

A poem where problems don’t exist,
Not even for a bit.
I’d really like to write that poem
But this one isn’t it.
