I would sell my soul
To be as strong as my sister,
Instead of hiding in the corner nursing the blister
I received whilst running away from myself.
To be courageous my like mother,
she's facing cancer but lives each day like no other.
I follow the same beaten path.
To be powerful like my boss
Who doesn't give a toss
What he buys because he has the money to buy it.
To be famous like Madonna.
I could do whatever I wanna.
I could save the world with my voice (given the choice...)
To be caring like one friend-
No matter how much jip I give her, she is always there.
And has been since I don't know when. Is it 11 years?
To have the charisma of 'Ma Jolie'
Everyone loves her charm, her wit, her personality
Whilst I smile, pleased she deigns to spend time with me.
And I would sell my soul
To have the confidence to be Me.
To enjoy eternity in the knowledge that people love me for me...
I'd sell my soul to keep myself.

Moving
well done, moving, thought provoking, deep, message-laden. loved the different takes you presented on each person in each stanza which added a greater dimension to the work and stressed the meaning to subject with so much soul fulness ... you have a great talent. -
Hmm- this is very interesting.
I thought that people would pick differently- but this is very interesting. It was simply written, and very emotional. I loved it- even if it wasn't something generally coveted. Very nice.
