Just breathe another day ❤️
Heyy community,
This poem was posted in my diary thread but I would like to post it to the further community and see what people think ❤️
❤️ I just wanted to share a quick poem and I think we can all relate to this when we feel like things aren't so okay and people tell us to just get through it ❤️ and often the pressure to achieve these goals ❤️ so I would like to share it with everyone!
-Another day -
just be another day.
Just breathe another day.
Like a huff and a puff the day seems to go by.
your sorrows start to swim like tears in a stream of water.
Just be another day.
Just breathe another day.
This day will come and go and the next day seems so far away.
The hours descend to days yet seconds mould like clay.
Just be another day.
Just breathe another day
Your smile bright like the light bulb.
The joy, wishing it would just last for infinite years.
Just be another day.
Just breathe another day.
The blood rushing through our souls.
The mind racing like a car but so much faster
So hard to love.
So hard to hate.
Wondering what's written in our fate.
Just be another day.
Just breathe another day.
Oh the dreams and the future interwine.
The you.
And the me.
Just be another day
Just breathe another day
To the last breath.
I want to make it.
Just get through another day.
Got to get to the party
Got to be fit.
Let the candle be lit.
Got to get the job you want.
Got to be a child when you are a child.
Got to be a adult when you become an adult.
Got to have a family.
Oh just make it through another day.
So we could play
Those games again and again.
Just breathe another day.
Please
Just live another day.
Desperation.
To be human.
One more time.
Again and again.
❤️ please share any feedback or discussion below ❤️take care . *Sending hugs if okay*

This is great poetry, Bunny. Poetry at its best.
It beautifully captures the essence of the human experience, and it does so with a very authentic and heartfelt tone. It's a reminder of the simple yet profound act of living day by day, of just being human.
The repetition of "Just be another day. Just breathe another day.", for me emphasizes the importance of taking life one step at a time, appreciating the present moment, and embracing the ordinary days as they come. Something you always emphasize in your posts.
It encourages us to acknowledge our sorrows and hardships, recognizing that they are a part of life, much like tears flowing in a stream.
The imagery of time passing with "The day will come and go and the next day seems so far away. The hours descend to days yet seconds mold like clay." reminds me of the fleeting nature of time and the motto "Carpe Diem", "seize the moment" and make the most of our days, even in the face of challenges.
The mention of a bright smile and fleeting joy is a powerful reminder of the moments of happiness we might experience in life, that we must cherish and hold onto those moments, no matter how short-lived they might be.
The lines "So hard to love. So hard to hate." remind me of the complexity of our emotions, that life puts us in difficult situations like hating even if we don't wish, or willing to love even if we can't. And lets us "Wondering what's written in our fate.", living with the uncertainty of our future.
You also touch on the passage of time and the various stages of life, from childhood to adulthood and starting a family. Like each phase has to be lived in its due time and in a proper way. For example, when you are a child by age, you have to live the life of a child, not exposed to live like an adult. And so on. And how advancing day by day you expect to reach all those phases in due time.
To me, the closing lines, "Desperation. To be human. One more time. Again and again," express your determination to continue living and experiencing life as a human being, with all its ups and downs. No matter what.
Throughout the poem, there is a sense of appreciation of the beauty in the simple everyday experience, of perseverance through challenges, and treasuring the short moments of joy that life might bring.
In the context of this Community, it's a powerful inspiration to keep on living and cherishing our existence, no matter what life throws our way.
The last words "Again and again" remind me of a song in contemporary classical music: "Again" that is also about the passage of time, day after day, though with a more melancholic tone, as the text comes from the renownedly gloomy Ecclesiastes:
