sometimes i think of all the cool animals that i and other people have come up with and then i get really sad that they arent real cause i really wish they were real and that you could like play and dance with them and have a pet birdog or fishorse like just how cool would that be and we could study them and learn all these cool new animal facts about them and then i realize that there have been so many cool animals that were actually real but have stopped being alive the whole lot of them and theyre now extinct and that saddens me even more because i can accept the fact or i guess get over the fact that sometimes the imagination isnt actually real no matter how much I wish it was but thing with these extinct animals is that they were actually real and if i or someone else was alive while they were alive they couldve learned all about them and i think this pains me more because its better to never have than to have had and lost and i know people say to not cry because its over but smile because it happened but i Yut think im ready to feel that way yet because i just cant stop myself from feeling sad at all the lost animals that ive never had the chance to meet and just knowing that they existed makes it hurt more and i guess now i have to say that i am really glad of all the animals we have now and they do make me really happy and im sorry i cant always be more appreciative of them and its my fault not theirs and the fact that i get sad over the imaginary and lost animals while we still have plenty of real real animals makes me feel immature and then i start not only to feel sad but kinda guilty as well because i have to try my hardest to hide being sad from them when im around them and i read somewhere about this thing that called cognitive dissonance and its where you have these beliefs in your head that contradict each other like being melancholic for memories fabricated or that have existed in the minds of others with no opportunity for personal experience; yet, all the while, saying that such loss is not worth grieving over—watching rain fall through the window.

My sight, which was my power, now blurs
Two invisible diamond spears;
My hearing subsides, full of ancient thunder
And the breathing of the house of my father.
The knots of tough muscles slacken
Like grey oxen, lax in the ploughed field;
The wings behind my shoulders yield
No light when evening darkens.

I am a candle. I burned at the feast.
Gather my wax when morning arrives
So that this page will prompt you
How to be proud, and how to weep,
How to give away the last third
Of happiness, and to die with ease—
And beneath a temporary roof
To burn posthumously, like a word.

Cuckoos lead Bohemian lives,
They fail as husbands and as wives,
Therefore they cynically disparage
Everybody else's marriage.

Not bad at all though I think your first stanza's meter is kind of tricky when read out loud if that matters at all. Anyway though, pretty cool, sounds good.

Thanks mate. It’s not a meme — it’s a poem by Ogden Nash, who was popular in the 60s and 70s. He’s a funny guy.

Piss, you scammed me. I do know Nash. I definitely had to read something by him in middle school (not an insult, just a fact). I guess I have to accept that I accentuated the "cuck" for nothing.

It was going to be my destiny. I had been told by my family I was destined to be something special. To do something great. For years I thought this meant I was going to find the cure to cancer, or invent something fantastical, or maybe even help get someone locally elected. But once I was told the truth, I knew what I had to do. The fact of the matter is that the County Commissioner was abducting children and drinking their blood to stay roughly forty five years old. He was balding, and it looked like his genetics weren't too good, but for some reason he's been forty five years old for the past five decades. He kept getting elected. I wasn't sure how exactly, until I started reading about adrenochrome that I realized the reason his election kick off parties were normally held at the chuck e cheese. It all fell into place. I couldn't prove it though, so the only thing I knew I could do was assassinate him at the top of the hour when chucke comes out to sing. No one will hear the blade enter his body when the show starts, and I know no one will check on him in his chair for a while, so I could slip out. He's a known alcoholic, and a few light beers at the children's play place doesn't seem too far fetched. Everything is falling into place. I know I may be arrested. I'm ready for that too. For I will become the Otoya Yamaguchi, and death is only the beginning.

Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.

Those who might be tempted to give way to despair should realize that nothing accomplished in this order can ever be lost, that confusion, error and darkness can win the day only apparently and in a purely ephemeral way, that all partial and transitory disequilibrium must perforce contribute towards the greater equilibrium of the whole, and that nothing can ultimately prevail against the power of truth.
