Promises

I promised myself
No more lies
No more blaming myself
No more filling my head with whys

I promised myself
I would be strong
I would try to look on the positive side
I would recognize the right from the wrong

I promised myself
I wouldn't ever again be so sad
I wouldn't in any way hurt myself
I wouldn't wreck everything I had

I promised myself
What made others fall wouldn't bring me down
I wouldn't turn back to the past
I wouldn't once again be broken on the ground

I promised myself
That everyday I would fight
I wouldn't get my heart broken
And end up crying alone every night

I promised myself
That I wouldn't fall
I would be stronger this time
I would survive it all

I promised myself
I would be OK with myself
That when I started to break down
I would ask others for help

I promised myself
I would accept the mirror
I would eventually learn to trust
And finally let people near

I promised myself
I wouldn't repeat the past
I would stick to my plan
And this time it would last

I promised myself so many things
I even promised a new life I would begin
But then I realized
Promises can be broken...
