Love Poem: A Promise

A Promise

I'm free
free to do me
I won't let 
past experiences
hinder me
I will jump to the light
like Micheal Jordon 
does a basket
Or hound dogs flee

I'll never be happy 
with half 
I hungry for all of it
I have dreams 
of conquering the world
I learned real young 
not to be too soft

Tears will fall
and sometimes 
I will have to crawl
but I will make 
my mark in this world. 
That's a promise
