Today

[Ålter Ego]

With a vivacious stretch

And vociferous yawn

I embrace the future

And welcome the new dawn

 

My morning breath to be damned

Rubbing my sleepy eyes

I take time to marvel

At the crisp vermillion sky

 

Accompanied by vanilla puffs

As the background fades to blue

With shades of grey and gold

As the sun plays peek-a-boo

 

The day gets even brighter

But the time goes too fast

I must cease my hesitation

And try to make this day last

 

Yet it's so hard to arise

From the slumber that I embrace

But I've already wasted an hour

There's no more time to waste

 

I spring out of bed

Trying to clear my thoughts

If I let yesterday command today

Then my efforts are all for naught

 

A hot shower and a shave

With minty fresh teeth

I grab the morning paper

As kids play in the streets

 

My surroundings are epic

As if inspired by a muse

But is this really picture perfect

Or an elaborate ruse

 

There's no time to doubt

I have too many goals to achieve

So what if I failed yesterday

Today I have to believe

 

This will be my day

I will conquer my fears and sorrow

And if I fail today

I'll look forward to succeeding tomorrow

[ShySoul]

Alter, I must say I love how positive you are. I like that last bit:

 

"This will be my day

I will conquer my fears and sorrow

And if I fail today

I'll look forward to succeeding tomorrow"

 

Now, I have a friend on this site I want to introduce you to. His name is kyo. He could use that kind of positive attitude.

 

Seriously, great as usual. You've really got talent. And I am glad to see the positive side of you coming out more.

Har har hardy har har.

Now that's truly poetic, =D> sounds like a classic. I wish I was as good with words so I could express how amazing I found it.

 

And, I must say, it's really sweet how you two (ShySoul and... you know ) get along, it's refreshing to see.
