I promise

I promise 

Few things to myself 

Away from the cacophony

Of this world where I live

Among many masked faces

I promise 

To be my saviour 

A companion to look for

Instead of searching for one 

Who might never turn up

I promise 

To choose happiness over

Thousand reasons to cry

A single ray of hope

Can cherish a bright future

I promise 

To hear what my 

Inner voice wants to convey

Something beneficial and 

The most sought after words.

I promise 

To remain calm and poised

In every situation that 

Life may offer to test 

The stoicism of my existence.

I promise

To take up every role 

That the life expects me to play

Along with a list of 

Many responsibilities to handle.

Taking things in my stride and

To accomplish everything

That I've ever wished for

Before life's candle turns off

I promise.
