Today I choose to start to live <br />To learn to Understand <br />The Journey of my Life <br />and Why? and How; I'm Who I Am <br />Today I say Goodbye <br />To sorrows Past from Yesterday <br />I leave behind an Angry Heart <br />and Try to trust Again <br />In Company with Misery; My friend was always there <br />To soothe me when I'd justify <br />The Feelings of Despair <br />Today, I let myself Forget <br />The Pain <br />Marring My Life <br />Anticipateanother Fate <br />On a Search for Peace Divine <br />And so Today <br />I'll grieve for Me <br />Give TearsFreedom to Fall <br />And then the Past <br />I Don't Permit <br />To Scar Me Anymore <br />Todays the Day <br />I Choose To Change <br />ForgetBut Not Forgive <br />Exalt the Ghosts that Dwell in Me <br />Allow Myself To Live!<br /><br />Jodie Mayhew<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-pledge-7/
