To Attempt To Not Be Tempted

To attempt to not be tempted, It requires so much will. But to actually not be tempted, Is a dream one doubts to fill. To attempt to not be tempted, Is beyond a dream that's true. Yet it takes a certain greatness, One strives to follow through.

Thanks, Anne! I wrote this back in middle school and found an old 'anthology' I made in the 8th grade, a notebook filled with poems. I'm 19 now. I'll be uploading them by the day along with newer ones! Appreciate your compliment!
