The Promise

I will always be the person people can look to.
I will always be striving for the top of my tier, if not beyond.
I will never allow myself or another brother or sister to slip in our standard.
I will never fall victim to the universal lies that perpetuate this society.
I will always uphold the truth, and strike down any and all lies.
I will never leave a brother or sister behind.

I will stand beside them, to be a guiding light and a friend.
I will stand in front of them, as to lead them through this life.
I will stand behind them, as to support their steps and to catch them if they fall behind.

I will provide them with whatever is in my power.
I will wipe the tears from their eyes.
I will catch their tears in my hand.
I will ensure that those tears are not wasted when I leave for my own battles.

That is my promise.
