Fragment of A New Poem

These sound like the last few verses of a much longer piece, so we'll call it a fragment.

Life's like a stage play of sorts
with cheerful freckles and some fretful warts.

Now I look at my life with its up and downside potential
and recall all those upsides that have been providential

At moments like this, I know things could easily worsen
So I'm tryin' to become a much better person
