Roller Coaster
Standing there, heart pounding
Head spinning, sweaty palms
“Why an I doing this?”
This is not going to end well
I step in the cart
My stomach turns
A thought of regret
The bar comes clamping down
Here we go…
Climbing and creaking
My anxiety gets worse
I feel like I am going to explode!
Get me off
Tick, tick, tick
Get me off
Tick, tick, tick
Reaching the peak
Get me off
And then dive
GET ME OFF!!
And then… I feel like I am the King of the World!
Even though I’m only a girl.
My fears disappear
I might actually enjoy this
I feel as I am on top of the world!
Going up and down the hills
Laughing and screaming
Searching for air!
I turned to look at him
He might actually be scared
Into a curve we go
Whirling
Whipping
Winding
Woah!
Down
We
Go
The metal wheels start grinding and turning
Gasp!
A screeching halt!
I smiled and turn to him
“Wanna go again?”
