Today
I will remind myself
that I am worthy to be loved
Today
I'll remember
that I let go of
the old baggage I carried around
and in exchange I have found
what it feels to be free
Today, I found me.
Today
I will remind myself
to ultimately seize the day
Today
I'll remember
to never waste away
keys will be cut and chained
to doors once locked and framed
opportunities greeted with a smile
an upbeat step, I walk this mile
Today
I will remind myself
to live with no regrets
Today
I'll remember
there are no safe bets
I'm all in, or not at all
no matter what, I'll face it all
my future shines and warms my face
this is my life, there is no fate
Today
I embrace the seeds I have sewn
I weed out what threatens
and tend to my own
this is my life
this is my way
this is my future
this is my Today
