Desire

If I want to change, I have it in my power
To hold back the visible signs of ageing !
Start my own business - in an instant !
Reverse permanent hair loss -now !
Swim - in five days !
Find my perfect partner - or full fee refunded !
be a writer - earn good money in my spare time !
Increase my word power !
Get a nose job, a chin job - my cellulite sucked, my tummy tucked - the wrinkles erased from my cheeks !
Learn spanish - in three and a half weeks !
I can reinvent myself, relaunch myself, be whatever I want to be, in the body I desire,
Unless
it's my heart,
my selfishness,
my greed,
my foolish pride at stake:
if I have a heart of stone,
all I can do is die.
A course of change not widely advertised.
So lead me, Lord, to the altar, a willing, living sacrifice.
Give me the power to bear shame, embrace pain, endure and persevere,
be confronted, affronted, stumble, humbled, through my grief and fear,
until I see your face Back to top
