Janelle’s Poem – It Would be Nice

IT WOULD BE NICE

It would be nice to have a cleavage

It would be nice to be able to bend forward without worrying

Using your hand over your chest or a shirt tight around your neck

It would probably be nice to see a hairdresser and use colour

and wear a bikini in summer

It’s sad that I will never fall in love again, through my own choice of not

hurting another after being dumped by an ex at some point you

truly love and would have done anything for but glad to be

separated as sometimes brain really should control hear

And love is not enough, especially if eventually one way

It’s nice that the universe suddenly sends the best

friends in the world your way

It’s good and gad that you will never have to go through

childbirth

It’s good and bad that you are (by choice) – “off the

market” for a future lover

It’s good and bad to realise that the world is all about

love

Express and joyfully love everyone more but know

you will die without a soul mate

It’s good and bad to get a pile of money but bad to feel

frustrated that your amount will not save the world

It is nice to enjoy every family get together like it was your last

It is nice to have more time to think about where you will go and read about it

It is heartbreaking to know how much your friend, family and mother will hurt

It’s nice to not give a shit about anything anymore and drive in your pj’s and beanie

Go out – no makeup, no eyebrows, thongs and house clothes because YOU are comfortable and love you

It is nice to get checked out with your wig on

It’s nice to not bother about the consequence of not wearing sunscreen for the sun

It’s nice having time alone

It’s nice having things like this spring into your brain but not when you have nowhere to write or do

so much the soul spurts get lost – arrgggh and are never found or repeated again.
