I Promise....

Today, I promise,
No I make this promise,
All to myself.
No more backing down,
No running away,
No leaving with excuses,
When I know I’m the one to blame.

I promise,
To see myself for who I truly am,
To no longer break down,
And give in.

I promise,
To love myself,
And to see beauty in my mirror,
When every new day begins.

I promise,
To embrace those who are broken,
To be a stronghold,
Keeping them safe in my arms.

I promise,
To see the reality,
When I begin to get gloomy,
And to look at the glass,
And see it as half full.

I promise,
To never give up,
And never procrastinize,
And to finish what I start.

I promise,
To fix myself,
So that I may enjoy my life,
And others can enjoy it as well.

I promise,
To be a better person,
To be happy,
And healthy,
Like I used to be.

I promise,
To burn those letters,
For they are holding me back,
And I know now,
He won’t be loving me again.

I promise,
To not focus on the past,
To look forwards to the future,
And to live each day as if it was my last.

I promise,
To be kind,
And gentle,
To everyone I meet,
Whether they have hearts of stone,
Or hearts light as feathers.

I promise,
To be committed,
To stick with things,
To stay firm and strong.

I promise,
That I can laugh,
At even the stupid jokes,
That I used to groan at.

I promise,
To get along with my mother,
And talk to my sister more than once a month,
And to help my father out when he needs it.

I promise,
To not take life for granted,
And to see myself as blessed,
And lucky.

I promise,
To make it all worthwhile,
To make sure that everything is enjoyable.

I promise, to the man I love,
I will love him forever,
And never let go.

And I promise,
That I won’t ever,
Break these promises.
