Today I made a vow
To love me for me
And not for who the media say I am
Today I made a vow
To be the realest version of me
Regardless of what anyone says about me
Today I made a vow
To love my body as it is
Because no one can treat it better than I can
Today I made a vow
To cherish my soul, my tender soul
And not let it get corrupted by the darkness of this world
Today I made a vow
To nourish my spirit
Because it is eternal part of me
Today I made a vow
To fight for my happiness
And not be tied down by depression
Today I made a vow
To stand tall but remain humble
Because stupid pride never does much good
Today I made a vow
To respect my heart and body
And not give them out to just anybody
Today I made a vow
To never cower in the face of obstacles
But persist till I overcome them all
Today I made a vow
I made it with the whole of my heart
And I pray my confidence doesn't fade away with each sunset.
