Commitment
it does not make a difference
this commitment
it does not hang like a heavy bird
one that’s in need of enlightenment
it does not make a difference
this commitment
i could spend a lifetime in bed
or awake, yet somehow dead
i have not suddenly changed
it does not make a difference
it is to her as much as life
this commitment
it’s commitment to healthy living
i just want to slide away
i am not lost in the woods –
and tied to a tree
this commitment
is just for me, a much better way
James Garratt – February Aged 26
