There was a reason I never liked roller coasters
But here I am on his roller coaster
The trajectory of life again changes
The stomach is in the throat
Loop to loop
I want to puke

Discarded
Abandoned
Rejected
Betrayed
Unlovable

They refer to me as a monster
And maybe I am
Maybe the best thing is for all to run
You must hide you never know

Some say it was a sickness
Others say it is weakness
Some say it’s normal
Others say I’m simply maniacal
Some say to come out the other side is strength
Others question why it took so long

Proud we are not
Volunteer, we did not
Move forward we try
But as we decent on this coaster
Past thrown at us like a spitwad
We beg for this to stop

And then…

All of a sudden everything stops

No one around
Nobody to be found
We have what we deserve

Or do we

Again we never had a choice in any of this

  1. The first thing that popped into my mind when I finished reading this – Mark! Go to the next ride and have fun!! Hope that doesn’t sound rude – it’s just saying Yikes – No one wants to feel that abandoned (?). Sure good to recognize the rides that make us sick though! Be Blessed!

    Love you,

    Mom
