MOLD ME
Hubris egotism
So self important was I
Vanity
Nearly snuffed my flame
Mighty man of deceptive prestige
A miserable failure
In essential human protocol
I marvel at the metamorphosis
Blinding pristine grace
To change such rogue persona
Rigid blackened heart
Charred
By years of denial
Foul
From foolish pride
The years seem insignificant
Mortal time
Means nothing to me now
Each new day
A celebration
Victory over aimless death
My God
Do with me what you will
Mold me in thy likeness
Teach me how to live
Specifically
How to give
