DON'T PUT FAITH IN PROMISES. . . WORDS WHICH MOMENTARILY EXPRESS DESIRES. . . THEY AREN'T FOREVER ! WHEN THE EMOTION OR NEED WHICH CONCEIVED THE PROMISE DISSOLVES SO DOES THE INTENTION. . . THE REASON TO KEEP OUR PROMISE NO LONGER EXISTS. . . IF WE ARE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO ACCEPT PROMISES AS ANYTHING MORE THAN AN EXPRESSION OF NEED WE BECOME VUNERABLE TO THEIR MORTALITY. . . IT'S JUST ONE MORE HURT. . . IT JUST ISN'T WORTH IT. FACE IT, WE CAN'T EVEN SEEM TO KEEP THE PROMISES WE MAKE TO OURSELVES. . . HOW CAN WE EXPECT ANYONE ELSE TO BE ANY BETTER AT IT THAN WE ARE ?
Reason for writing:
I GREW TIRED OF BROKEN PROMISES AND DECIDED TO FACE REALITY.
I SUBMITTED IT BECAUSE I'VE ENJOYED EVERYONE ELSES POEMS AND THOUGHT MAYBE SOMEONE WOULD GET SOMETHING FROM MINE. BUT THEN AGAIN MAYBE NOT ?
