On a day like today

On a day like today,
When you want the most
but you simply can't,
You should at least write about it.

On a day like today,
When she looks the best
but cant be touched ,
You should at least think about the first kiss.

On a day like today
When you write a song
but the lines don't flow from your pen,
You should at least sing the last one you wrote.

No darn no,
This is not on hope
or on those in which the downers dwell,
But simply on what you could do when you cant.

On a day like today,
Don't break the rules
but let them break away,
You may atleast know what those were.

On a day like today,
Do what you can as long as you can,
As times change and your mind,
Shine through the night and the late October rain.

On a day like today,
Eat pasta,
sleep tight
and dont call your mom.

Through the dark alleys
and the blind lanes,
Comes out the road
that makes you your destiny's cockswain.

this is such a cool poem... loved it

LOVE the imagery.
It all seems so deep and realistic.
Excellent job. (:

I have lots of days 'like today' when things don't quite click and are not in synch. You're right it's important to try and push through that and do something, at least. Good work, I related to it. Thanks.

It is so easy to have a 'mental reel' going when I read your writing. I think the broad appeal/vague-ness makes it so. Lovely imagery - I thoroughly enjoy reading your work.

The vagueness that you might sense from this poem is intended to add a more universal appeal rather than generate a mere constraining thought. It was written to address certain anxieties and concerns and see the bright end out of it. Thanks for reviewing. Opinions are invaluable

Interesting work... I couldn't exactly understand the message you were trying to convey, but it was a good read
