Synthesis Studios - Paper Rockets, a Trader's Lament

I eyed Tesla the electric dream soaring flying high
Elon's tweets like gospel preached from the sky
Bought at the peak felt my spirits fly
But then the stock took a dive left me asking "why?"
My portfolio's green turned red a bitter sigh

Chasing dreams trading on the fly
Rockets explode but again I'll try
In the market's roller coaster I'm just a small fry
But from these ashes my dreams will never die

Amazon the jungle king with Bezos at the wheel
I jumped in with hopes a perfect deal
Prime Day came but the numbers didn't seal
Stock fell hard my wallet began to peel
In the jungle of stocks reality's the keel

Chasing dreams trading on the fly
Rockets explode but again I'll try
In the market's roller coaster I'm just a small fry
But from these ashes my dreams will never die

Cryptos calling Bitcoin the digital gold rush
Hopes of wealth in the silence a hush
Bought at sixty grand a future lush
Crashed to thirty my dreams turned to mush
In the land of coins a silent sobering crush

Chasing dreams trading on the fly
Rockets explode but again I'll try
In the market's roller coaster I'm just a small fry
But from these ashes my dreams will never die

Each stock a story each coin a tale
In the sea of trade so vast so pale
Losses and wins a constant gale
But in this financial odyssey I set sail

GameStop a meme a trader's delight
Rocketed high out of sight in the night
I boarded late felt the might
But the drop was sharp a frightful plight
In the game of stocks I'm a knight albeit slight

Chasing dreams trading on the fly
Rockets explode but again I'll try
In the market's roller coaster I'm just a small fry
But from these ashes my dreams will never die

I stashed my dreams in a 401(k) secure and sound they say
Enron's leaders smiled took my future away
Watched my retirement once bright as day
Turn to dust in corporate play a deceitful ballet
But I laugh at my portfolio's disarray "At least now I can crochet!"

Chasing dreams trading on the fly
Rockets explode but again I'll try
In the market's roller coaster I'm just a small fry
But from these ashes my dreams will never die

Here's to the traders in their digital towns
In the world of stocks with its ups and downs
Our rockets may crash but our spirit rebounds
For in the market's vast universe hope abounds

With each loss wisdom compounds
In the symphony of the market our hearts resound!
