Roller Coaster Ride

Has a deeper meaning than a mere ride, figure it out and you get a cookie :)

I go so high,

My hair nearly touches the sky.

I am on a wild roller,

Coaster ride, even if I holler,

And scream, it never ends.

In seconds it descends,

Rapidly downward,

I pray to my lord,

My feet nearly touch,

The abyss lying below my reach,

What goes up, always goes down.

In my case, I smile then quickly frown,

So rapidly on this ride,

It's easy to hide,

But sometimes this becomes,

Vastly overwhelming, it becomes,

A ride of fun and pure ecstasy,

Or a nightmare of pure misery.

This ride is a gift,

And a curse of tift,

The gift is writing,

The curse is fighting,

Should I ride for the gift?

Or beg for help for fear of being tift?

 

Author's Note

Ignore grammar, the way it flows is meant to be like a roller coaster aswell.

I like this poem overall. I think in some spots, the decision to use cliches (like "what comes up always comes down -- L11) is not the best thing, but it does what it needs to. I really like how you formatted this too. Also, have you ever tried writing freeverse poems? I see that you use a specific rhyme scheme (in this case, AA BB CC DD...etc.) but if you try something not so structured, it might give you a little more flexibility on what you can write. I don't know if that's a sort of thing you'd like to do, but I recommend trying it once or twice. It definitely works for me.
