Roller coaster

With adrenaline pumping I wait for the climb,

this rides captivated, hook, sinker and line.

I'm settling right in as its peak etches near,

relaxed that I'm sitting way back in the rear.

My heart skips a beat as we climb to the top,

but suddenly stops as the cart starts to drop.

The strangest of feeling, I'm doing free fall,

and praying to God that the thing doesn't stall.

Its plunge takes a hold, my breath taken away,

a feeling of death makes my head start to sway.

Around the next corner it takes on a twist,

I won't live to tick off my first bucket list.

Ahead comes the loop and I start to turn blue,

look out down below cause I'm going to spew.

Its full speed ahead and my brain's in a whirl,

then next on the track is this weird looking twirl.

And what's with these people, arms high in the air,

to hell with those friends that had given that dare.

Then all of a sudden its train starts to slow,

I'm feeling like death in the very last row.

With legs weak like jelly, now touching the ground,

my voice is a whisper, try listening for sound.

So much for that feeling of wanting a high,

the one thought I got was, I'm going to die.
