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?
