Rides

Rides

A Poem by Tnig
"

I'd like to hear what others can interpret instead of telling them what too expect.

"
Roller coaster rides require payment in hearts

Confusion arrives at the seat

        Do I want this?

                          No...

  Yes...

 

Tracks, oiled by tears

responsible for movement.

   The want to leave

trapped in the moment.

It starts, with anxiety,

Transforming into excitement at something new

You think your safe with your belt.

?

 

Then it never ends.

 

                        Betrayed

Comfort now contorts into Control

  A lacking emotion

Safety now an iron maiden

       Time, the sadist.

 

Lightning hits you like an epiphany

                 A sudden realization that everything you want

Is what something else doesn't.

 

Time stops as you continue this journey

                          Unsure of the moments that are to come.

 

Finally ending when something fails,

     Brakes.

It must be stopped for repair.

 

You get off.

 

Yet get on another ride.

Author's Note

Tnig
beginning attempt at another style of poetry so I am curious as to how I am doing. How is the imagery? Is the vocabulary well? Anything helps.
