Today... Poem by nupur singhal

yesterday when i thought,
things would be so much sweet today.
destiny proved all false,
the quest that i had set forth, just about yesterday.

today seems so vague, so unclear,
this is not what was wanted for today, in the spent yesterday.
who went wrong, or what was it?
no one can justify the way we're living today.

were all the promises, so weak, so dismal,
they could not sustain the injuries cast for today.
yet, life drags along,
pain creeps in day by day.

reasoning fails me now,
as i discover that it never was reason enough for today.
what achievements? what loss we suffered?
no account gives a brighter prospect for today.

blame fired hither, thither,
no one to blame, all are to blame.
yesterday was hence the winner,
in comparisons to today.

yesterday there was hope, no remorse,
today they have turned just the other way.
would life subside the insurmountable agony,
maybe we should stop the blame game today.

now i discover, love and peace are difficult to find,
no matter where seeked, it has lots of places to hide.
yet i look on, remorse struck,
that maybe if not today, tommorrow would be a better day.

in a moment i meet glory,
just the next a questionable sorry.
would it move this sluggish,
burning fire within, eroding the spectrum of life.

life twists itself from yesterday, today to tommorrow,
all trying to push aside the sorrow.
yet it creeps in, from some nook,
when will u come back, happiness seems so damn far away.

wishes are the enemies,
only if they could be shoved aside.
who'z satan? i cannot decide,
maybe it lies within me, how ironical? with love alongside.

life is weaved with ironies all around,
contradictions, maybe are a part of life.
sometimes u seem right, sometimes myself.
diatnce has thus made everything a burning hell.

why is today so cruel? i do not know,
i question therefore, why did yesterday have to go?
i accept the cruelities that i have to face,
devastated myself, i would thus, take to the grave.
