Life, life is complicated

There are many elements to life

There is pain like piercings and birth


There is blooming in life like growing up or flowers blooming


There’s falling in love

Its either you’re hearty or not

And if they're not

They will give you heart break

And assuming you have a fragile heart,

You will blubber crying


Hey, it’s ok if someone doesn’t like you not everyone has great taste


There is aching when you lose a loved one

There’s cruel and unusual punishment


Like being dragged away from your family and thrown into prison, even if it's for nothing


Pulled from your loved ones

See life is filled with lumps and bumps like


Shootings,

Pollution,

Attacks,


Revolution

The world is a trap itself

The rules suck

The President's isn’t all good

And there’s too much of poverty in this world

It’s like one of the only things in the world we can’t fix

And the gloomy and sour smell of poor people’s clothes


The strong smell of Drugs

The putrid smell of smoke from cigarettes

There are dirty and filthy objects like


Racism,

Hate,

Social class,

Sexism,


There are ugly things like

Ugly things like purchasing a gun

Ugly things like waiting to pull the trigger


Dark wars

Deportation

Refugee crises


Life came unfair and always will be unfair

Nature during spring is one of the most beautiful entities

When flowers blossom at the Botanical Garden

The Botanical Gardens’ creamy and tart which calms me

Because in life all people do is kill people

Life is like a water balloon waiting to burst

Life is also a bomb waiting to explode

And at one point death

See life is crazy

The world is crazy

This is life

I wrote this piece in English class during our poetry unit. This poem just came to me all of a sudden like why not write something original, something people talk about but don't really pay attention to. SO this poem is about life.
