Jump


Locked in, ride starts, strapped tight, don't try to fight

Up an incline, we feel the car rattle

Just as our life does, the coaster takes flight

Force of gravity and machine battle

The ride will be tough but can be enjoyed

Even famous crusaders made it through

The thill and speed can sometimes  fill the void

While others go out with an adieu

Anticipation o'er comes our mind

Many feel content and free at heart

The belts and bars cannot keep one confined

Only life can be compared to the cart

With ups and downs life can be a real dump

And sometimes all that's left is to jump
