I Promise...
I Promise…
By: Wardah Elghazali
I called for attention
I asked for protection
I promise I’ll never ask again
I want to be loved
I want to be able to love
I promise I’ll never desire again
I cursed myself
I hurt myself
I promise I’ll never kill myself
I listened to the taunts
I heard all the lies
I promise, it never happened
I am a person who is known
I am someone who is looked up to
I promise I’ll never dream again
I promise that I’ll try
I promise that I’ll do it
But, I will not promise to be what you want me to be
