What can I add to this poem?

“Life Is”

Life,

it’s like a firecracker,

A flash of light,

A bang,

The end;

It’s like the sea,

Tides of emotions,

Pulled by an unseen force,

Filled by others,

Yet cold and alone;

It’s a dot in time;

A breath of air;

It’s love,

Hate,

Sympathy,

Apathy;

A War on the inside,

Peace from outside;

It’s chaos,

With order;

An escape,

And a prison;

It’s you,

It’s me,

It’s us.

I need to make it last a minute in a presentation and I'm kid of out of ideas. Any from you guys?

Update:

I'll do my best not to copy them word for word; if it happens I'll throw in a word for your help :]

Update 2:

“Life Is”

Life,

it’s like a firecracker,

A flash of light,

A bang,

The end;

It’s like the sea,

Tides of emotions,

Pulled by an unseen force,

Filled by others,

Yet cold and alone;

It’s a dot in time;

A breath of air;

It’s the only truth,

It’s the darkest lie

It’s love,

Hate,

Sympathy,

Apathy,

Bliss,

And torment;

It’s Everything,

It’s nothing;

A War on the inside,

Peace from outside;

It’s chaos,

With order;

An escape,

And a prison;

It’s you,

It’s me,

It’s us.

Original enough?

    Life is also:

    Nothing

    Everything

    Something

    Agony and Bliss

    The darkest of days

    And the brightest of nights

    It's my only truth and my dearest lie

    Right until the moment I die

    Anyhows, don't use my words exactly, but just use my ideas. You don't want to be caught plagiarizing, especially from people on Y!A, who aren't considered the brightest bulbs in the shack.
