Once a Day I

Day that once today that is 
My once a day poem of how I feel
Day that once today that is
A poem to express my day today

Felt somewhat low and out of sorts
Dismayed in my mind killing mental time
Torturing my writings by reading better than mine theirs
Today has been a day just like any other when I compare

Day that once was the yesterday to today that is
My daily journey writing displaying my feelings 
Today is a day where a journey never ends
Just like at night when the light in our eyes shift

That adjustment that period that moment of disbelief
To trust in the day to end with a strong heart beat
My day today is once as it was a lonesome day expressing myself
Day that once was just a day another one tomorrow comes 

May I drift away? Into a sun streaked sky or moon beam lunar carpet ride…
Maybe in thought just my dream of imagination left to me
If only there was the once a day that came to save the belief
Then maybe the next time I write I shall not feel the same
This day as it once was not so 
Yesterday is gone and tomorrow has not been yet claimed
As today is always the only day a true decision is made

For me to be able to openly express my abilities is what I strive to accomplish. In life I have not always been able to speak about my days or my past in a place of safety or understanding. At least I have such amazing comments to remind me that I have a special way of being that is talented when writing. XO Thanks again Freddie!

Thank you for admiring this one. I enjoyed the ease of ability when it comes to the need to write it out. Writing a once a day poem has shown much insight into my different days mood. Shifting as it does often today will be an amazing one I am sure.

Kristina, you shouldn't compare your writing to others; your writing is honest, from the heart, and good. I felt the same way at first but I have found that, by reading the writing of others, I have become a better writer...maybe. Don't stop reading others, just don't compare; there is nothing wrong with yours. I hope today is a better day. John

Thanks John for the word of encouragement. As I read others work it is relevant that they have had higher education for more vocabulary and that is great for me to absorb when reading. The well written work by those who have had more experience with different observation is an opportunity I enjoy comparisons without criticism to assist in my abilities to write. Today is better thanks again for stopping by with such a wonderful comment.

oh , Kristina, you sound a bit down in some parts of this but I like the attitude shown in the ending. I really loved the imagery in last stanza first few lines. Very nice!

Thank you Andrea for taking the time to read and comment on the mood in some parts. This was just the first of a new fun way to express my mood daily. I appreciate the recognition of the ending because I chose to end on a positive thought rather than continue the down feeling. Have a great day!
