An ideal world

A world with no pain generally

No hurt,

No regret,

I get to be who I want to be

Without critics,

I get to breathe normally without worries about feeling pain

A word with peace

We all say shalom shalom

Like we know what the word feels like

If it was Shalom

Would it have been better?

Without being delusional about perfect peace,

When you still find it hard to find peace.




I know the world won't be all beautiful if we have perfectionists everywhere

The beauty of the good and bad won't be able to be acknowledged

But does it mean that the same species of flowers can't exist?

And the beauty will still bloom?

I beg to differ!

The world can be better whereby our mistakes won't change our future,

Where our wrongdoings won't remain as trauma for our brain to feed on,

And our memories are unable to be revisited,

Because of the hurts it encompasses and the fear of the consequences of remembrance.

I don't want a perfect world,

I just want a world where I can say shalom and I mean it

And shalom shalom

The perfect peace that shows the relief I feel

And not me saying the words when I can't even relate to it




Even the best Disney movies that have Happily Ever After have villains

So how far and how well can I keep dreaming

When everything seems like without the bad sides of it,

I won't appreciate the peaceful moments I feel,

The sincere joy of having my wish come true,

The magnitude of love,

The circle of friendship,

The gratitude of family,

And the gifts of life.

Even though it feels funny I say I'm just a girl

But I don't believe too much in fairy tales

And I don't believe my dairy can take the pain

Or magic can change the world

I hope I say my ideal world is the world I am in

But with less pain,

Lesser injustice,

Greater peace,

And greater love.
