I Am Not Giving Up On Me Poem by Aldo Kraas

I am not giving up on me
My friend
Because I believe that I will be able to
Achieve anything that I put my mind on
It is not about the question of being lazy
It is the question about making a commitment to myself
And keeping it
Sometimes I might feel that I am slacking of
And dumping my commitment inside of the waste busket
Without realizing that I am important also
By staying connected to the outside world as well as the inside world
