Roller Coaster
Standing there, heart pounding
 Head spinning, sweaty palms
 “Why an I doing this?”
 This is not going to end well
 
 I step in the cart
 My stomach turns
 A thought of regret
 The bar comes clamping down
 
 Here we go…
 Climbing and creaking
 My anxiety gets worse
 I feel like I am going to explode!
 
 Get me off
 Tick, tick, tick
 Get me off
 Tick, tick, tick
 Reaching the peak
 Get me off
 And then dive
 GET ME OFF!!
 
 And then… I feel like I am the King of the World!
 Even though I’m only a girl.
 My fears disappear
 I might actually enjoy this
 I feel as I am on top of the world!
 
 Going up and down the hills
 Laughing and screaming
 Searching for air!
 I turned to look at him
 He might actually be scared
 
 Into a curve we go
 Whirling
 
 Whipping
 
 
 Winding
 
 
 
 Woah!
 
 Down 
 
 We 
 
 
 Go
 
 The metal wheels start grinding and turning
 Gasp!
 
 A screeching halt!
 
 I smiled and turn to him
 
 “Wanna go again?”
