Coveting calm

I wish to be free of

all gnawing worries

I wish to wake up

sans the deluge of regrets

I wish to not bend over

feeling inadequate

I wish to feel full

and content with me

I wish to let go

of all the sadness

I wish to breathe

in pure and simple joy

I wish not to crumple

under pressures of life

I wish to live in calm

each day afresh
