It’s Not What Life Promised Me!

It’s not what the world promised me
It’s what I chose to take
It’s how I chose to live it
It’s when I chose to realize it.

It’s not what my heart promised me
It’s what I chose to accept
It’s how I chose to deal with it
It’s when I chose to feel it.

It’s not what a dream promised me
It’s what I chose to do
It’s how I chose to make it a reality
It’s when I chose to intercept it.

It’s not what man promised me
It’s what I chose to see
It’s how I chose to habituate
It’s when I chose to stand alone.
