the promise

By SubwayBoi

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I promise to keep going, Yes, you know who you are. And even if there's nothing left to say, And no words left to say it; And my dictionary is blank. I promise to keep going. If the sky falls in and the strikes go on, If the power tips and the weak are strong, If the light burn out and it's always dark, If my map gets lost and I just can't walk, I promise to keep going. I open my mouth and no sound will come out. I put pen to paper and I hear nothing shout. I can't find the words and there's nothing to say, And I can't find the light at the end of the day, I promise. I promise to keep writing.You know who this is for.
