I COMMIT

       

    To change my life today,
        I'll not ignore injustice;
        covet what I haven't got;
        repress or
        pity myself,
        placate, plot.       
    I can,
            no matter what I've done before,
        create the person
            that I want to be.
        I'll look for lessons
            when I feel attacked.
        I'll own my feelings,
        think before I act.
        I know I can live
            should-less, shame-less, free.
        Today I will not take or
            risk my life,
        nor harm myself
            by little suicides.
        I'll shun what sabotages me or
            hides my worth or
            aggravates my inner strife.
    And as I dare today
            to show my face
        I vow to make our world
            a better place.

Well, I'll begin with that I think this poem is great. You are very optimistic about your life, thats a good thing! It is often hard to change yourself and transofrm yourself from one thing to another, but you seem to have the will to do it. One person making a difference impacts the whole world, it's sad these people aren't noticed by the world, and instead rappers and singers are and crap like that which to be honest, isn't that important. Though promise me this, promise me you aren't changing yourself for the wrong reasons. God job.
