Life is music.

We are all members in
The largest orchestra.

Sometimes
The notes clash,
We rush,
Or we drag.

There are strong fortissimos,
And weak pianissimos.
Changed with a crescendo,
Diminuendo, or an
AllAtOnce fortepiano.

Sometimes accents
Are marked in strange places.
Or there is accelerando
Where you feel like slowing down.

But,
If we follow the conductor,
It will end up okay,
And we will all finish,
In perfect time.

This is a poem that I wrote for an English assignment, and I'm pretty proud of it.
