Transform me into who I long to be.
Turn the dark circles into beams of light.
Make my flaws invisible.
Even if only for one night.
Stretch my skin.
Color me in with shades,
Of beauty in a bottle.
Give my eyes a new shape.
If only but for a moment.
Under the cloak of darkness remove my veil.
Wait, let me keep the illusion one moment more.
Transform me into who I long to be…
Sometimes I wish that the dark circles would disappear and that the signs of aging would magically go away. That my skin would maintain its elasticity as if I was still in my 20’s. I never imagined what life would be like at 43. In my mind perhaps I thought it would always be as it was. But nothing stays the same.
I am beautiful no matter what transformations take place, yet there are some days I long to be her again–vibrant, tireless, flawless HER. She is the illusion that motivates me. She’s the drive that pushes me to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle. She gives me life. I was her once. Now she is me.
