Envy enveloped me,
With a knife positioned to pierce into my back.
I desired to be her and her and her.
I never gaze at who I am,
For I do not know how to look upon myself fondly,
Without desiring more—
More beauty,
More poise,
More elegance,
More.
I want to be everything.
I want to be the earth, the wind, and the trees.
I want to be the flowers, the gardens, and the bees.
I rarely desire to be me,
And in the moments that I do,
I find areas to augment,
For I must be more.
The little I am
Is merely the torch that burns the fire,
That heats the pot of potential brewing inside me.
More, more, more—
The echo of my desire whispers
