Promise

Promises made, promises broken
Hollow words echo past
Failure haunts a future spoken
Time to eye higher caste

Act not chat potential talent
Centre soul, focus mind
Forget that I am malcontent
Write outlook I will find

Ground unexplored offers chance
Old pastime drifts in wake
Command the moment to advance
Present the gift I make

Lay to rest mind adversary
Impede thoughts that restrict
No more thinking cursory
Believe in truth to inflict

Fresh commitment, solid base
A new road to walk along
Success and happiness to taste
And destined dawns to ponder on
