Desire
Desire
The heart fills with desire, it wants what it wants
That which is attainable, that which is not, haunts
Leading us astray from what is acceptable
Into foreign lands so vulnerable, susceptible
Often a balance we seek between the two
Whispers of truth acknowledged, bid adieu
Follow our heart, follow our mind
Sometimes in neither, satisfaction find
Still flames of desire build and overcomes
Sensibility, longing, craving reality becomes
Until sated by desire’s passionate determination
That little slice of cake is our only salvation
Tempted
Tempted
On many occasions, I have been tempted
E’en though my words might be rejected
To speak my mind, say what I mean
The truth is the truth, nought in between
On many occasions, I have been tempted
To partake of that delicious piece of dessert
Though it would quickly to my hips transport
It smells so heavenly, looks so divine
I’m sure the flavour is simply sublime
Tempted on occasions too many to recount
Steadfast remain, I remind myself throughout
For though the temptation often is great
The resultant problems it would create
Must be considered part of the equation
Inner turmoil overcome, it is self-determination
Stubborn
Me. I am definitely the epitome of stubborn. Anyone that knows me will tell you that.
Stubbornness is frowned upon, thought pigheaded, willful or inflexible.
But it can save your life. There are countless instances where I have been stubborn. Too stubborn to give up the fight and thereby live. Too stubborn to give up to pain and win. Too stubborn to give in and thereby overcome.
So in certain circumstances, being stubborn is a good thing. It was a tool that gave me strength to rise above and stand tall to overcome to fight in order to survive. I would do it again.
