Desire isn't something you can just curb. One second it's absent, and the next, it torments you, clawing at your every intention and gnawing at your heart. It's never always bad; sometimes desires give you the extra mileage. It spurs you on and keeps you forward-looking. And you won't ever look back. But desires also kill you, your morals, personality, upright character. It takes away that little self-control you had over your ego and blows up your pride to massive proportion. And that desire feeds the burning passion, an exuberance of golden flames teasing.

And right now, said desire flourishes inside me. It violates my principles but against my verbal testimonies, I desire for it. To be more than just a leader in spirit. For once, I need a positional recognition and the coast seems clear. For now.


It started off as a humble attempt to stay out of politics. I knew I had a safeguard so that eased my tensions. What I did not know was my insatiable lust for power. Hunger, they say, is a mindset. It's true. But that doesn't make it any bit easier to control. In fact, it's always a tad worst when you console yourself with such words of wisdom.

It's down to the final round. All or nothing. I need this so badly. Things just look so bleak sometimes. Every morning is just so dull and there's nothing to reel me back in to reality. This is that one hope, my one desire; both good and bad.

I need it.
