Of Vows

   Never Compromise- Not Even In The Face of Oblivion! A vow that I took unknowingly at birth of my conscience, and to which I try to remain true.

 

   I've been successful so far. The trick is old, all you have to do is figure out who you want to be... And then be it! Don't let yourselves be fooled - we all build ourselves, from a bunch of spare parts we pick up here and there during the days of our lives. Figure out who you want to be - how the parts will fit, what they will become. Know it from the start, and there will be no need to go back.

 

   I've allowed none to rob me from myself. During all this years, I've listened to my guts and acted according to my design. And all my mistakes were chosen by myself, therefore no regret befalls me. And so it will remain in the years to come, as I take a new vow: I shall say no word other than my own.

 

   And thus I remain myself. And, in the end, I will be able to say, with the pride of an honest man: "I've lived my life free of compromise!" and I will step into the shadows without complaint or regret...

 

... and the never-ending darkness will mean just unending rest to me.
