Life is a bridge. Time is a river. The world is what we see as we walk this bridge of life. The weather is the mood, it obstructs the view and takes away from the scenery that makes us happy; glad to be alive. The sun is joy and brightens our day, making us glad to be living. Rain and storms are negative emotions brought on by things we cannot control. That rain hits hard, and makes you feel life it getting you down; a felling of being punished if you will. But it's not punishment; It's just what it is. Negatives. But like the rain, we can stop the negatives. Like putting an umbrella up over ourselves to shield us from becoming drenched; we can shield ourselves from the negatives. Whether it's with memes, or whether it's through counselling or speaking up about our problems and feelings and getting that little bit of positivity, Negatives, like rain, are temporary. Life it good; it has it's ups. It has it's downs. But we need to cherish those ups and learn from those downs to get to the end of this bridge. to get to the other side, to plant the seeds of our legacy for the future. Life is precious; don't waste it.

Listen to some Alice in Chains... Drink a Coke, eat a Snickers.

It's alright that a poem is sad or dark in tone. It's best to put your heart and soul into artistic work to get through tough feelings.
