On a day like Today,
Everything's gonna be fine.
On a day like Today,
I am gonna shine.
On a day like Today,
The worlds gonna be mine.
In search of that day,
My Today is dying.
Torn by unresolved conflicts,
Stranded by never ending pursuits,
Confused by hidden identities,
Perturbed by future's obscurities,
Disheartened by life's verdicts,
Betrayed by uncanny adversities,
Abandoned by the last strains of reputabilities,
Everyday I overcome urges to call it quits.
Love says I don't deserve her,
Success says its too much I am asking for,
Friendship says nobody befriends a loner,
Dreams say they foresee absolute horror,
Future says it all ends here,
The world says I am a selfish monster,
Life says in this battle I am already a loser,
I say this is not me I see in the mirror.
Whats happening around doesn't matter to me,
As I move towards another reality,
Of unthinkable calm tranquility,
And a state of undefinable ecstasy,
Where existence follows another geometry,
And life moves like a pure mystery,
A world where I am my greatest enemy,
Bringing with it a future which only I can see,
On a day like Today,
Everything's gonna be fine.
On a day like Today,
I am gonna shine.
On a day like Today,
The worlds gonna be mine.
I believe I will reach there someday,
Till then I am not gonna stop trying.
P.S.: This post is a tribute to one of my all time classics - Bryan Adam's song of the same name. Though this isn't one of my great pieces, written in a state of I don't know what, after lot of thinking I have put it on the blog for everyone to see. The style used is , unlike my style of writing poems/songs, reminiscent of the hip hop and rap culture, something I have ventured into for the first time and personally have failed big time.

nice one ...very true :)
This piece of writing says a lot about you...
"hope is a good thing...may be the best of things...a no good thing ever dies.." a quote from shawshank redemption. Stands true for/in all times...
Pray 'one day' comes soon in your life....

Are you preparing for GRE? It is a good article for people frustrated of mugging Word Lists.
Frustration makes a man think, thinking makes a man blog and blogging makes a man insane. Hence, Frustration makes a man insane. And insanity despises infelicity.
Abe how can this be ur worst piece...
i think it is gud...
but what r u exactly saying???
Is it true???
Who said this is your worst? I guess it speaks volumes.
The question, IMHO, is not really whether it's your worst or best!
It's good, in fact pretty neat... but it's not Shammy-Stuff.
I am not criticizing. In fact I am a firm believer that it's good to deviate once in a while.
Footnote: I liked it. Won't mind more similar stuff :)
