Last year promises

Last year I made promises ,

To not make any compromises ,

To not be bothered by them ,

To not let their words hurt me ,

To not let their presence affect me

I made promises ,

To not hate myself ,

To not let them bind me

I made these promises to myself ,

But as this year is ending ,

I'm realising that I have failed ,

I was bothered by their words ,

I hated myself  ,

I said many cruel words ,

I allowed myself to be binded by them

I failed , but you know

I'll try again ,

I'll try until I learn to love myself

I'll not lose my patience ,

I'll not let them break me ,

I'll not let anyone hurt me ,

I'll not give up ,

  I promise I'll survive another year

         No matter what happens ,

                    I'll stay strong
