Analysis of Today



Today I am going to be great,
Today I am going to love my soulmate,
Today I am going to influence,
Today I am going to look at bettering myself,
Today I am going to take full responsibility,
Today I am going to hold myself accountable,
Today will not be promised; I will make today the best,
Today I not the day I am going to play with someone,
Today I am not in the mood to be pushed over,
Today I am going to do things my way,
Today may not be a perfect day,
Today is still going to be my day.✍
