Promise Yourself



Promise yourself

When you wake up today

To be just one step better

Than you were yesterday

Promise yourself

Intangible things that no one

Can take away from you

Your character,

Your integrity

Traits that are undeniably yours

To be true

Promise yourself

To stop making empty promises

To the one who matters most

Who but the person staring back

In the mirror

Should be respected the utmost?

Promise yourself

To continue

Working on yourself tirelessly

Your story, your journey

All your ups, downs,

Struggles and wins

Make up who you are

In your entirety

Promise yourself

To stick to your goals,

Aspirations and dreams

Only you get to decide

Your life’s purpose as to

What it all really means

Promise yourself

That you will not

Compare to others

There will always be people

Seemingly doing better materialistically

But remember:

We are not better than one another

You are one of a kind

And possess things they

Could not possibly offer

Promise yourself

To stop caring what

Other people think

Let them judge

Your only obligation

Is to be your own

Strongest link

Promise yourself

To say yes more

And to face your fears

On the other side of anxiety

Could be the ultimate

Prize of all your life’s years
