Enjoy Yourself

 

They say to me: “Enjoy yourself”

Defy the forbidden 

Embrace life, gain experience. 

Make your child, no need for a daddy. 

Have no limits, no regrets.

It's your body, your choice.


They present me with new looks

New ways of behaving

To get an updated version of me.

Body goal, couple goal

You would be happier 

If you make it happen.


How long will you resist? 

What if no reward awaits you ahead?

If a thief snatches what you hold dear?

What if one day it’s too late?

And your body is old and useless?

What if you never reach your goal?


I don't have all the answers.

I often run short of arguments.

Yes, I want to love and be loved

But I want more than instant pleasure

That will always leave me wanting

I crave for a relationship that would not fade away

A love that would also do my soul good.


I met someone who showed me special love,

Who loved me before I even knew him. 

He loved me body, soul and spirit

And revealed to me 

What is best for my whole being

What I was made for.


He told me about a life of bliss in his house

Where treasures are neither stolen nor destroyed

Where what was sown in dishonor and weakness

Will rise in glory and power

Where there will be neither wife nor husband

But a life like that of angels in heaven.


Because at the end of my journey 

It is Him that I’m going to meet

May my body goal be as he prescribed

My intimacy with Him be my relationship goal

Yes, I want to enjoy anything He gives me on the way

But above all I want to please Him,

Because my goal, my reward, is God himself.

  1. N.B. On the other hand, some say "Enjoy yourself" with a good intention. Not letting go, taking good care of yourself, and not depriving yourself of things that would make you happy - like a good restaurant - because you would be waiting for "the person" with whom you could share it. Very relevant in my opinion.
