I am the one who sings
The one who shines
The one who dances
The one who rhymes
The one who hears
The one who prays
The one who laughs
The one who stays

I don't think of tomorrow
I look at today
I have nothing else to offer
What else should I say?

But within every soul
There is a part to mourn
And within every heart
There is a part that's torn

But if you think of the bad
And give up the new
Your life is a waste
And you're mind is too

So grasp every day
Like a delicate flower
Sit down and rejoice
If only for an hour

It means if you only think about the bad things that happen and you don't look at the new and exciting things then you're mind is a waste because thinking like that is a waste of time, you have to look at all the good things, no one likes a negative thinker. well i hope u liked the rest lol.

We have the same name! hehehehe ;)

"I don't think of tomorrow/ I look at today." I loved that line! I think that's excellent advice. Too often people fixate on the future (or the past) and forget to live in the present. I thought this was a lovely poem with a lovely message.

The only advice I'd give is maybe to proofread it again. In the 4th stanza "you're" should be "your." But all in all I thought it was a well-written poem, and I loved the rhymes!

Niiice. I like that. :D
The first stanza was my ultimate favorite. The way you closed it up with the rhyme was perfect.

Btw, thanks for commenting my profile. Heh.
