Rollercoaster

Life is a rollercoaster!

Caught on a rollercoaster

With flashbacks rolling by

Times of joy and times of sadness

Twist and turn as my life is shifted upside down

Stuck on this rollercoaster

Where I bump along the hard times

I'm high above the ground

It's a good thing I'm buckled in

Or else I would never make it through this ride

Of lost dreams and unfulfilled promises

Of harsh treatments and blatant distrust

It never stops, this rollercoaster

Just keeps getting faster and faster

Until I feel like I can't hold on to the handlebars

For much longer

This metaphor referring to life

Forever on this rollercoaster.

This poem's name just caught my attention. So...
I read it.

And I love it!
I like how the tempo is so fast - like the rollercoaster getting faster and faster. Like life is too.. I wish it could slow down sometimes! Anyway. You describe life very well.
Keep up the good work, girl!
