I Promise

I promise that I won't get distracted by the noise around me
I will avoid delaying the process to make haste my budding successes
I promise to forgive myself of my mistakes and endeavor to merit me in private
Astonishing as life can truly be I'd rather fight for integrity within my hand

 The heart of conflict kills an open pride 
I'll take of this blindfold to read my lines
But am getting too close to this daunting cliff
I promise to remain stable as the evening grows

Don't try solving today's homicide
The altercation of this dilemma is at its deadline 
I promise to send out my lifeboat for you
Hang in there do you understand my formal affair?
