No Promises

No Promises

My eyes open and I realize it’s another day of life.

The question is

Am I going to live it or do I watch it pass me by?

My feet have not touched the ground,

Yet 
I've been brought to Earth in a harsh and short period of time.

This is why I obsess to and prefer to sleep; in order to avoid these thoughts of mine.

I take a deep breath as I hold the pillow tightly; I sink deeper under the covers.

Oh, how I wish I could assign the endurance of this life to another.

But,

It’s been given to me

And

Me alone.

I am assigned to live this life fully, refusing to become just another clone.

The price of this is to walk along with the voices of

Past, present and future;

Still loud in my head,

To ignore them

As I continue to take steps ahead.

Another day is another chance.

I can’t make any promises,

But I’ll do the best that I can.
