I Wish That I Poem by Phil Soar

I wish that I could sweep away my feelings
And live just as I like without recourse
Not have to struggle with what's said,
Mix up the feelings in my head
And not have to show anything like remorse

To glide through life without a doubt
Smile when danger is all about
Drift into space when the going's tough
Sleep when I just have had enough
Walk through clouds when I feel I'm left out

That somewhere there's a place I go
That no-one else will ever know
Then my deep seated fears can play its card
And after all that life can throw
In my direction as I grow
Old and careless would not seem that hard
