Promise Broken

I asked for wealth And promised to use it with purpose But willingly did I break it on a day Now I sit to justify my coarse I did but not in its worse form, I said to me I broke your heart After exchanging wealth for flirt Your vigilant one has fallen Your eyes are heavy With such awesome strength You let yourself flow Yes, it drizzled their unto me Then I was frightened Later all was bright This ordeal waken me To all you have given me,when I asked Courage, though I misused Made me to let go of fear An ill decision it was But it was one I took with boldness I sense maturity within me To take a coarse with head up-high Though I praise not the course But to realize the presented values I acknowledge I have fallen but ain't staying down I rise for a wise coarse One that will not trade my wealth Back into your hands I entrust my ways Take charge ©Kofi Asokwa-Nkansah
