What used to be my face
is now just a facade
Once I was nice
now I'm the Marquis de Sade
Please cry no false tears for me
or say that you've somehow still faith
Keep it up, and I'll metamorphize
from the Marquis to Henry the Eighth
Unlike being alone
Celibacy is a choice
A commitment to oneself
Maybe for a lifetime
Maybe for a growth cycle
Celibacy is a desire
a need to focus
to reevaluate
Celibacy is a spiritual journey
concentrating with minimal distraction
time alone to reflect
to hibernate
then re-emerge
cocoon
metamorphize
journey inward
explore the great depths of the self

I change.
I grow.
I conquer.
I am an ant,
that walks on a busy sidewalk.
Every crack,
blade of grass,
and human foot,
is an obsticle that I must overcome.
As I
'walk'
on this
'sidewalk'
I....
metamorphize.
I become what the
'other ants'
think a man should be.
Although I stumble
on a 'crack'
I do not give up.
Although a HUGE blade of
'grass'
gets in my way,
I am reminded that
my GOD is BIGGER than my
'blade of grass'
From egg,
to larve,
to pupa,
and finally adult,
I change...
My personality
My rationality
My confidence is beyond measure.
I change.
I grow.
I conquer.
I under-go
Metamorphosis.
