Make Today the Day

You’re worried about change. You feel safe
when things stay the same. Comfortable, but not
happy, life becomes a habit. One day is no different

than the next. Keeping what you don’t need, not following
your heart or your dreams. You’ve been trying hard
to fit in. Slowly, over time you don’t recognize yourself or

where you’ve been. You thought you’ve sacrificed,
only to learn you took the easy way out. It’s not
too late to take a chance and do the things you put off,

because tomorrow’s not promised. But at the end of the day
you’re too tired to even think. Days have a way of slipping
into years. Don’t let another moment pass you

by. Make today the day you come around. Follow your
heart’s desires. Let go of everything you don’t need,
and breathe. It will feel strange at first as first. You’re

scared. Holding you back is only fear. At the end of your
life you’ll be grateful you took flight, with nothing but the
wind riding your back, free and unencumbered at last.
