Roller Coaster

by Julia Polin

A Longing to go fast 

When life is boring and vapid

The slow build and the view vast

Then comes the changes so rapid 

Upside down and all around

The screaming can be heard around town

While my hair whips, my heart pounds

Praying the ride has no fault

Then it comes to an abrupt halt 

My adrenaline still pumping 

My pulse still thumping

But now it’s in my throat

My untouchable thoughts like smoke

Floating by on a riverboat

While My body became so woke

Don’t know how to come down 

Feel like I got a golden crown

Holding my head on cloud nine

Chills tingling along my spine

Am I glowing 

because THAT, I liked 

But people knowing 

that I got spiked

Like a volleyball

Tipped then flipped to fall

And At the top I nearly stop 

Just to speedily drop

Quicker than the last slide

Speed Junkies love this fast ride

Take a photo of the thrill and panic

Hilarious to capture the fear so frantic

It’s pure that picture as long as your stomach doesn’t turn

Hope we all can try to fly at least once

It’s worth it feel those bumps

You got good odds you won’t end up deceased 

Although u may question it once released while soaring thru the sky u wonder “am I gonna die’? 

Let go of control and get a real reason for whole body tensions

Life is much more interesting with these wild inventions
