Roller Coaster


*click* A giggle escapes from a girl

The rollercoaster rests for a quick nap but then jerks and launches forward

Boiling soup of nervousness fills the unbearable stomach

 Ball of oxygen let out through pursed lips

*Clank,Clank,Clank*

 Boiling soup nervousness becomes cotton candy as the roller coaster rises

Happiness floods the rapidly beating heart, overflowing up to the eyes

Expecting the thrill and being touched by the gentle air

*Clank….clank….clank* the rollercoaster halts, googly eyes see the world but

The Unexpected comes to the picture

Wishing happiness comes with a “fragile” warning

A sharp fall shatters happiness

The roller coaster strikes down in a flash

Mouth becomes voiceless but eyes take the opportunity and speak

Walls crackling and breaking free, overflowing of rainfalls

*Ahhh!* screams of happiness from people except one

Pits and pits of sadness appear within

Uneven twists and turns layout the unforgotten memories of sadness and pain

Eyes yelling and screaming

Eyelids drape the eyes, shushing them

Mouth becomes paralyzed

Breathing in and out the gentle air

Eyes calm down

The rollercoaster becomes a snail and stacks of emotions vanish in a fog

*tsssshh* 

The rollercoaster comes to the finish line

But is it over?
