I Commit Poem by Glen Martin Fitch

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.
