Resolutions

Realistically, will you unnerve the devil?
Ensure he won’t tempt you to stoop to his level ,
Staring at the wine glass, my mind is in disarray,
Oaths I swore I would take, I can’t dismiss them away,
Losing my jar rich with faith and engraved with self control,
Under the spell of temptation, I scramble for my goal,
Taking flight to chase my spilling jar of fresh starts,
I tell myself repeatedly “I have to be smart”,
Obedient I will be, to the quest I set myself on,
Never will I give in, the show must go on -
