Give A Promise

Give A Promise ::~

Giving up hope..
Fading to shadows...
Left all alone..
Existence so hallow.

Soul screaming out..
“Someone please save me.
The cross that I bear
my courage is breaking.”

Give yourself a promise.
Swear it by your name.
Never give in to darkness.
Let this be your flame.


Pray to the skies..
weeping and troubled...
When even the wise..
have weakened and crumpled.

Learn to forgive
and not to hold grudges.
We all make mistakes
as humans not judges.

Give yourself a promise.
Cling to your hopes and dreams.
When life is cruel and heartless,
that promise you'll redeem.


Live for yourself..
Not for 'their' pleasure...
Who knows you so well..
that they can measure?

The wings of your heart
find strength in kindness.
Don't flatter yourself.
Pride leads to blindness.

Give yourself a promise.
Swear it loud and clear.
When others are dishonest
you won't give in to fear.
