Last Day Of Life Poem by Allysyn Bryant

Ever been asked the question, what would you do if you only had a day to live? If you were told that you only had 24 hours left to live, then what would you do? I’m sure most people have heard this question before. And along with their answer, most say they wouldn’t know.

But think about this:

Tomorrow isn’t actually guaranteed.
At any moment anything could happen.
Along with the good, the bad can come by as a surprise.
Nothing can be done t prepare or avoid.
Some things you just gotta live with, deal with,
Even if you can’t change it.

Hundreds stuck in the past or worried about the future,
Thousands more who don’t pay attention;
Pay attention to the world today, the present.
Too worried about what other people think and how they seem, that they lose, forget who they were from the beginning. Too self-absorb in themselves that they lose those that they love and those that loved them. Never able to return again, not seeing truth until it’s too late.

Everything’s Gone.

I don’t know about you but I sure as hell don’t wanna be like that. I wanna be known, but known for who I really am. I wanna live day by day, enjoying the day, rain or shine. Either way you won’t hear me whine. These last few months reality has come to hurt me. Finally, you see, I’ve come to terms with myself…

For years I’ve bottled up the pain, hurt, sorrow all the handle another day. No more, I’m letting loose. Letting the emotions through.

Any day could be the last day of my life. I won’t waste anymore time being scared or frightened of what could be or what could happen. I’m living life to its fullest. Nothings holding me back.

Tomorrow is never guaranteed.
Yesterday is in the past.
Present time is all we have.
Live each day as if it was your last.
