Life itself is vanity,
when shut up in a box.
The future non existent
a fatalistic walk,
but hope expands before you
foundations start to rock.
Hold tightly to your dreaming,
the shaking, it will stop.
The sky was gray this morning
the rain began to fall
Nature pulled depressions plug
I traversed the frightful wall.

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
The poem "Ups and Downs" uses a mixture of metaphors and direct statements to convey its message about the unpredictability and cyclical nature of life. The use of imagery, such as "shut up in a box" and "Nature pulls depressions plug", is effective in creating a visual representation of the poem's themes.
However, the poem could benefit from a more consistent rhythm and rhyme scheme to enhance its musicality and flow. For instance, the line "The future non existent" disrupts the established rhythm and could be rephrased to fit better within the poem's structure.
Additionally, the poem's message could be deepened through the use of more complex metaphors or symbolism. While the poem's directness is a strength, adding more layers of meaning could make it more engaging and thought-provoking for the reader.
Lastly, the final line, "will always make a swap", is somewhat ambiguous. Clarifying this statement could help to provide a stronger conclusion to the poem.

I think...
I get what you are going for here.
I would say, make a few changes in this, to make it clearer.
Life itself is stale
when shut up in a box.
The future non-existent
a fatalistic walk,
but hope expands before you,
foundations start to rock.
Hold tightly to your dreaming,
the shaking, it will stop.
The sky was gray this morning,
the rain began to fall,
but nature pulled depression's plug,
I breached that scary wall.
It was either change the lines to match up the idea
or get rid of the idea of everything turning out alright.
