You made a resolution now
and promised yourself
you'd keep it anyhow
knowing not
it would fizzle
within an hour

how weak
and fragile
is human nature
in its everyday about
seeking the desired
in and out

how soon
does weariness
set in
and you'd live
in a cloud
of dubious bout

I'll live
with myself
in tones
gentle
and not loud
in acceptance
of me
even of my own doubt
while I hear
others shout
