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
