Day 5, The challenge was to write a metamorphosis poem.

The Importance of Today
At this stage of life,
One is probably,
Amazed at what we have become.
Yesterday, I was a girl,
With girlish hopes and dreams.
Today I am an old person,
Coasting on the downhill side of life,
Very aware if I am to accomplish anything,
It needs to be done today!

My body says yes to the downhill, my mind says you gotta be kidding, yes? Doesn't matter cause today is the only one of its kind.
