We all

Life doesn't make you,

You have to inlay hue,

It gives you the chance to blow away,

Having an ace up your sleeve, the world of grey,

When you are so indignant,

Don't let obstinacy to be the best,

Let it down quickly as you know,

Before they grow horns an inch more,

As well when you are brought down,

Tears take over to calm you down,

Make them out till it melts your cream,

Pick up the pace to hit your dream,

Sometimes being more blown off would,

Turn out you are screwed over, dude,

You will see these cocky quotes, Lord,

On the day you win this whole world!

    The poem captures life's ups and downs, reminding me to create meaning amidst struggles. The contrast of color and "world of grey" encourages resilience and humility.

    Love the vibe of this! It's got that "roll with the punches" energy and a playful spin on handling life's ups and downs. Plus, the ending has a fun, triumphant punch—like you're about to conquer the world!
