I have read this poem every year for the past 3 years. Every single time i
read it, it moved me. it showed me that life is unexpected and you just
have to keep going.

I have had to do an essay on this poem talking about the extended metaphor
and the theme of the poem... i've been wondering what you guys think on my
idea

i think the theme is determination with a little bit of hurt and anger to
show that life "ain't been no crystal stair"
