Rollercoaster

I love rollercoasters

The ups and downs,

The highs and lows,

Of speeding along the track.

The weightless feeling

Of spiraling through a corkscrew turn.

I scream in excitement

As my stomach flips,

All the while

Thanking God

For the shoulder straps securing me.

I love rollercoasters

My heart beats in anticipation

As the car climbs the incline.

I know what’s coming

I see what looms ahead

A shocking dip followed by

A heart-stopping upside down loop.

I lift up my hands,

And enjoy the elation

That comes with letting go.

No surprises, just relief

As the waist bar holds me tightly.

I love rollercoasters,

But I don’t like the one I’m on now.

Too many lows,

Not enough highs

And I can never see where it’s taking me.

My stomach drops with each dive,

My heart no longer races with each climb.

Instead of an exhilarated high

That comes with the journey.

All I feel is exhaustion

As the ride never seems to stop.

I know I’m not alone

I see you sitting next to me.

I can feel your arm

draped over my shoulders,

Securing me to your warm side.

You said you’d ride with me,

But I didn’t believe you’d stay.

I’m sorry for doubting,

Forgive me for not trusting.

I'm just so tired of struggling

To stay high, only to be let down.
