The Promise
I walk into the dayWearing hope as my sweaterAllowing the sun to feed my soulPromising myself that todayI would set myself freeI walk into the dayWith you by my sideLaughing away the painPromising ourselves that todayWe would set ourselves freeI walk into the daySurrounded by smilesExisting uncomfortably in the crowdWatching as they promise themselves that todayThey would set themselves freeI walk out of the daySurrounded by bitternessBarely surviving in the crowdWatching as they promise themselves that tomorrowThey will set themselves freeI walk out of the dayYou’re no longer by my sideSaying goodbye foreverPromising ourselves that tomorrowWe will set ourselves freeI walk out of the dayHope is nowhere to be foundDarkness invading my soulPromising myself that tomorrowI will set myself free _____________________________________Photography: Lanaya@writing.for.the.calm
