Carpe Diem

Seize the day. 

Do not throw away

Your shot at happiness. 

Forget your fear

And celebrate this year,

This month, this day, this life. 

The only thing holding you

Back is that you’re too

Afraid. 

Afraid of judgement

And disappointment

And failing. 

But happiness is found

When you disregard the sound

Of everyone talking about you. 

True beauty is found within, 

So let he without sin

Cast the first stone against you. 

Live in the now

No matter how

Badly everyone judges. 

And when the going gets tough, 

Remember you’re a diamond in the rough

And one day people will marvel at your strength and beauty. 

Whether opportunities are brought by

Fate, destiny, or horse. 

Take them. 

Take them. 

Because every day is a brand new day

So carpe diem.
