It is a roller coaster
this thing called life.
Am I supposed to
b e l i e v e
it runs on fate?

Up and down the track
with a devious twist
that brings me
p l u m m e t i n g
toward the ground.

Speeding along as my
Stomach flutters with each
loop de loop so
c e r t a i n
It is out of control.

Suppose the only thing
holding me in place
breaks, and I go
h u r l i n g
through space?

Floating there for a moment,
until I scream.
Closing my eyes.
A n t i c i p a t i n g
the very end.

Is it really intentional
to be here like this
W o n d e r i n g
When it might
Slow down?

If this is so,
then when it's over,
you might hear me ask...
"P l e a s e,
may I go again?"
