What is life

Life is like
The craziest roller coaster in the world
Everyone wants to ride it
because it’s known to
be the
best
No one can contain
their joy
as the roller coaster
climbs
higher
higher
higher
until you're at the top
where everything pauses

There you see the
joyous and pessimistic
people
of the world
A roller coaster is so similar
to life because
everyone in life is going
to move through it
but
the way you look at life
either makes it
fun
or
boring

You can either look at the glass
as being half-full
or
half-empty
Life is all about how you think it is
Everyone on the roller coaster is
going to end up
at the same place
but
only a few will
never ride again
Those people only
see the roller coaster go

Down

Down



Down
as they free-fall
down the first drop
that leads
into the bottomless hole
of sadness

They only think
about how
everything else on the ride
won’t be as good as being on
top
But they shouldn’t feel that way
they should feel like
the joyous people

Those people
will go down the first
drop
Then devour
the loops
G-rolls
Dives
until
there at the end with the
pessimistic people
But the joyous people
will go back and ride
Again

I think what inspired me to do this work is just thinking about what the world means. What is the purpose of living and how living compares to items we can find in this world
