Promise

I made a promise to myself

To embrace me

And force the characteristics of my personality that lay dormant out into the light

I promised myself to hold my head high and embrace my beauty that is unique

I decided that the comfort of my safety zone wasn't where I was destined to remain

There was a big world out there

A new domain

I reminded myself that I am enough and any man who enters my realm must be smart enough to realize that

I smiled when I understood what I was deserving of

And laughed when I realized just how many people were against my happiness

This life is for me to live

And there is only one person responsible for my happiness

ME.
