I COMMIT: A SONNET

I COMMIT

To change my life today,
I'll not ignore injustice;
covet what I haven't got;
repress or
pity myself,
placate, plot.
I can,
no matter what I've done before,
create the person
that I want to be.
I'll look for lessons
when I feel attacked.
I'll own my feelings,
think before I act.
I know I can live
should-less, shame-less, free.
Today I will not take or
risk my life,
nor harm myself
by little suicides.
I'll shun what sabotages me or
hides my worth or
aggravates my inner strife.
And as I dare today
to show my face
I vow to make our world
a better place.

hi Glen, how are you? This is James from Vancouver, BC. I love your sonnet very much and appreciate your other works too. May I post this one "I commit" on my facebook to show my friends?

I will post a direct link if I am allowed.

I will understand that if you prefer not to, just please let me know.

Thank you.

James
