This day is mine



this day is mine
with good and bad
with all the laughs and cries
this day is mine
and change this you can not;
to swift I've tried
in my courageous quest
but, as I said before,
this day is mine
so, I shall strive no more.
I am who I am,
forever lasting in my blessed uniqueness,
in love with life's magical light,
with nature and a glass of wine
I let myself to die
buried alive into my gorgeous life
hoping this day remains entirely mine.

    Wow, what a beautiful poem! I love the positive and enthusiastic tone that exudes from each line. The metaphor of 'this day' being a precious possession that cannot be changed is so powerful and relatable.

    Your piece is heartfelt and uplifting, and I especially appreciate the message of embracing who we are and finding joy in the simple, natural pleasures of life. Your use of language and imagery is impressive and creates a vivid landscape in the reader's mind.

    If I may offer a suggestion for improvement, I think it would be helpful to break up the longer lines into smaller stanzas or verses to make the poem more visually appealing and easier to read. That being said, the form of the poem ultimately comes down to personal preference, and the words themselves are what truly matter, which you have executed exceptionally well.

    Thank you for sharing this inspiring piece of writing. Keep up the great work!
