Don't let this feeling go away don't let me ever feel so down that I would forget about the vow that I made over two years ago A vow that I made while placing my hand on the Bible A vow that I'm bound to for as long as I shall live Why don't people take it seriously? It is like a marriage, only with multiple people It's a partnership between yourself The you that you are now, and the you that you will become My only obstacle is being close to everyone I have a hard time of being close to anyone It stems from my childhood friend situation and never having a real sister or mother to call my own Why must I be difficult? I put hard work into everything I do But Do i ever give 100 percent? Do i ever live in the now? All this past week, I've bitched, moaned, and complained I've counted the days until my commitment would be complete But I didn't remember the love, honor, and duty that comes with the letters that I hold and cherish until last night Last night, I prayed that this feeling wouldn't go away That i would remain thankful for all that I've achieved and gained I knew it might, especially when frustration sets in So i decided to write a poem to once again commemorate this special event in my life Where would i be without dear alpha sigma? Probably back home wondering where my life has gone but i have the desire and dedication and the confidence to know that the light surrounding me makes me special that my head and my heart are leading me toward the central goal I wear an invisible crown on my head That sets me apart from others, not in a bad way but what we as sisters share the outside world doesn't often understand it is a secret that i will carry to my grave To enjoy both the love, honor, and devotion that comes with one thing is amazing to realize that your uniqueness made you a member of this group yet so many decide to throw it all away how can you take that decision so lightly The decision that will keep you from ever wearing your letters again a decision that will keep you from all the joy of sharing sisterhood To completely disregard the reason for which you were chosen there are good times, and there are bad times, but open your heart The best decision I've ever made The reason I am even here today, achieving what I have my past has haunted me, I've never had close friendships but here the opportunities are endless I make this vow, just as I did three novembers ago to make my last semester memorable my 21st is coming up, my graduation so many people leaving will we ever see each other again I remember the day when five unexpected sisters took me by the hand to heal my heart and just yesterday, when one of my sisters showed me how much she loved me sisterhood isn't a joke or a dream, it's reality why couldn't i see just to think I almost missed out on this because of my anxiety and fear I have a new found love, faith and honor for alpha sigma dear and i pray this feeling won't go away |
