So the subject of poetry came up on discord, and I found this very deep poem I made in 2015 when I took a poetry class in college. Thought I might share it with y'all.

Life:

Life has its ups and downs



We have our smiles, and we have our frowns.



There are moments we have that brighten our day



but others we have can make the sky so gray





In the world we live in, anything can happen



one moment we can be filled with joy, other moments we can be sadden



Some people have the worst luck, and struggle all the time



While others have excellent luck, like finding a shiny dime





Some people view life as if it meant we have a purpose for living



Others, however, find life nothing but just plain unforgiving



Many people believe they were created to be a target of unfortunate events



While others think too much of themselves and believe they’re twenty dollars and fifty cents





As we get older, we begin to retire



And eventually, before you know it, we all expire



After our time is up, what happens to us next is unknown



We move on to the afterlife, or we let mother Earth eat our skin and bones





Everything is unpredictable, there are many things that can make us strife



While it’s difficult and can be very annoying, sometimes we all realize, that’s just life

Unpopular opinion: I actually loved that scene when I was younger, and it never scared me at all. I just thought it was mesmerizing to watch, especially at the scene with the ice skating elephants.
^^^ Same! It's one of the few things in the movie that still holds up, imo, but that's a discussion for another day.

It may just be because I’m a shocking racist but my favorite part has always been the crows. Those boys could sing.
Not just the crows. But I am somewhat conflicted about them. It was certainly my favorite song from the movie, growing up.
