“a promise to myself.”
3 days, and I couldn’t hold one of my “resolutions.” Exactly why I didn’t make one in the first place 😂
But I’ve honestly been feeling a little under the weather lately, so I’ve been trying to rest as much as possible. I’ve got big things coming up that need me at full energy! 😎
So, before I sleep, I’ll share my first poem of 2024: “A Promise to Myself.”
“I promise to not put the pressure of being perfect upon these shoulders.
To be okay with waiting and resting; these things should not
Waiver my belief in how God will work.
I promise to be myself in a world that is begging me to sell my soul.
It won’t pay close to the cost of what I’m worth.
I promise that, when hard times come,
I won’t hesitate to cry, to express my feelings, but I won’t
Stay down for long.
For weeping lasts for a night, but
Joy comes in the morning, I have
Every reason to smile.
I promise not to get sucked into this social media trap again.
Because I’d rather love who I am when I log off than
Only love myself when I fit into the trends, and when
The number of likes determines how high my self esteem is.
I promise to not MANifest, but to PRAY.
Because doing things my way caught me in a web of pride that
Never seemed to suffice me.
I go to God with everything in faith, and allow Him to
Pleasantly surprise me.
And finally: while I’m not as open as I used to be, I’ll never
Waiver in my honesty.
I promise this to me.“
What’s something you’ve promised to yourself?
