Poem: Not Today

Not today...
I'm not gonna let you let me down,

There's no way you're gonna turn my frown upside down…

Today, I'm putting a smile on my face and I'm heading downtown.

Sometimes there's days that I just can't stand the silence

Or the wicked ambiance that you surround me with…

Not today,

Not today.

I'm not gonna let you get me down.

Yes, I may seem a bit independent

But I'm not turning in to someone who is half-spent…

This is my life…

There may come a time-that I have just one day…

You never know when it will end…

It's not always good to be all work and no play…

Cherish the time…

Not today am I going to live like I'm past my prime.

Today,

The sun is going to shine behind that cloud

And I'm gonna spread my smile all around…

Not today…will I cry.
