Rollercoaster

Whoever said

that life is an emotional

rollercoaster

was brilliant. 

Ups and

downs, 

right

and left,

at a breakneck 

pace.

Sometimes it's a smooth ride,

and then the hill approaches

and up and down

I go.

I've got whiplash,

I'm screaming in exhilaration,

pain,

excitement,

fear, 

all at once.

Emotions, like

potholes in a dirt 

road,

bump me up and

then down again.

When will I 

get off?
