A Type of Poem of Self-Importance

I've noticed that there are quite a few
of these types of things....everywhere,
and from what I've seen, this much is true
they're not serious enough, that I should, care;

Of course, I'd never just, "up, and say"
that every day's a walk in the park,
but....assumptions, and expectations, on each day
can litterally turn a reality....."stark"!

A day in the life.....is exactly, "right"
not a millisecond past the day's end!
Try, as you will....as you use all your, "might"
one can't alter a long-standing "trend".

Hotter air, or a sizeable, "drama balloon"
may be the "jacket", that's hung on the "day",
but, "we" choose the words, and consider the "tune"
the whole world could care less, either way!

It's usually one's personal perception
that simply "blows".....clear, out of range,
familiar bridges, in, every direction....
...where self-importance, will surely, "derange"!

I can feel this as you wrote it and would love to come back and visit it again with a clearer mind. Run through your spell check on it. There are a couple of places in that section. Hope all is well by you and hello to your Mom. Doc

I am not a huge fan of using so many ellipses in a poem, it detracts a little from the piece and with a rhyming piece it's much easier if it flows without those, I found some of it to be a little off in its meter but nothing a little editing and perhaps reading out loud can't fix :)
