I swear


I Swear

 

I

Will not be defined

By someone’s mistakes

By someone’s weaknesses

By someone’s past

 

I

Will not let myself

Be hurt

By the past

The words said

The looks given

The pain inflicted

 

I

Will not

Suffer in silence

Be overwhelmed by the truth

Hide from reality

 

I

Will move on

Make amends

Heal

And look for a brighter future

 

I

May still be in pain

And want to hide

But

 

I

Know now

That I’m worth more then that

I didn’t deserve it

There’s no way to change it

 

And I will be okay

I swear
