The Rollercoaster

by Mr Anonymous   Dec 17, 2007


In life there are high points,
But also low ones
It's not always going to be great
You're not always going to have fun

Maybe you're being bullied at school,
Or work is too stressful
Maybe there's something that you just can't handle

I have a simple metaphor,
For what life is like-
It's like a huge Rollercoaster
And you're already on board,
So don't try to get off, you won't even if you fight

You're happy as a clam (I still don't get that saying...)
You're at one of the highest points of the ride
But, oh no, you get fired! (Or something else unfortunate happens)
You're dropping down, now, bye bye!

Get used to the ride,
It's not going to stop
It'll keep going up and down
Until your life is lost

We're not all on the same coaster,
We don't share the same emotions
But sometimes you could have other people
Join you on your coaster

You won't be getting off,
Anytime soon
So it's time you get used to this news

Everybody's Roller Coaster is different
Some start at a high point,
Some start at the bottom
Sometimes you might have a break,
So go stop at a Burger Joint (or another place to eat...or something...)

Every choice you make,
The Roller-Coaster will be ready
To go up if it's happy
Or down if it's 'saddy'

I hope this all made sense-
It kind of did to me
So try to enjoy your own huge Roller-Coaster
Have fun with it, wave your arms and scream
(I LIKE ICE-CREAM!)

    Very funny. You need to work on your rhyming though and the word Roller-Coaster was said waaay too much. The flow was a little shaky too.

    You have a very different way of seeing things and saying them. It's very intriguing whilst reading it, so keep the creativity coming. Excellent work Jackson. We have golf this afternoon... and swimming, so let Shelly know. I'm looking forward to it. 5/5!!!
