The Promise
By Clyde E. Gumbs
 

I say I’m a believer

That’s what I’ve said throughout the years

But when I look at my behavior

What I’ve believed in were my fears

 

So many times I feared the outcome

Wouldn’t allow my ego to survive

I’m on my own is how I acted

Do what I had to, but not thrive

 

So many dreams had been abandoned

Be realistic is what I heard them say

Make sure you are not too ambitious

Safe expectations led the way

 

I let such petty hopeless thinking

Dictate who I thought I could be

A small resentful scared impostor

Is who I thought was really me

 

I now choose a new beginning

No more confusion left for me

I now arise and I awaken

I am now what I’m born to be

 

I am an agent of pure purpose

An inspired instrumentality

I need be nothing more than who I am

To be used by all divinity

 

There is a promise never broken

It never was and cannot be

If I do the work I’m born to do

The results are never up to me

 

There is perfection in the universe

It matters not what I may see

I was not born to control outcomes

I was born merely to be me

 

If I do the work I'm born to do

Without attachment, fear or greed

If I live true to my purpose

The results are guaranteed
