Brigid Faye, Reader

I wish to banish loneliness 

But not alone time. 

I wish to banish mania

But not inspiration.

I wish to banish blockages

But not boundaries.

I wish to banish lies 

But not fairy tales. 

I wish to banish boredom

But not quiet time. 

I wish to banish hunger

But not my passion. 

I wish to banish hate 

But not fury. 

I wish to banish cruelty 

But leave room for mistakes. 

I wish to banish carelessness 

But stay care-free. 

I wish to banish laziness

But not rest. 

I wish to banish poverty

So I may always have enough to grow

So mote it be!
