A Better You

I Promise

By Charlene EllisonPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I promise to eat healthy foods as much as I can

Every now and then… I have a cheat date

Although, there is plenty of time throughout my lifespan

I will not walk around with a frown

Please… Send me a faithful man and not a clown

Oh

My…

I will read to keep up with the world view

To be socially aware of the global news

My goal is for tomorrow is to be a better you

Life comes with stressful life events

Decisions… Decisions… so many of them to make

I tried to put it all together, yet it just does not make cents

I could never lie to you

Somehow every time I get caught

Oh

My…

It takes a lot of effort to keep my words

Yet I think of how happy I will be

The past is just that… unheard

I look to the future with a smile

Big dreams… Big goals… to make a better you

Everything I went through was all worthwhile

To my future self I can’t wait to meet you

My twin… Also, my best friend

Oh, I cannot wait for that day if you only knew
