Roller Coaster

By: Matthew Lippe

Life has been a roller coaster,

it’s had missing tracks,

and breakdowns,

and plenty of bumps,

but I don’t stop.

I don’t stop in the middle of the ride,

even though there might be a downfall.

But I’m not saying there hasn’t been high places,

but just be ready for a fall.

For I can’t be at the top forever.

Dark turns will occur,

where there is no light at all,

but soon I will be out again,

climbing another hill.

Soon I will be at the top again,

but might go through a loop back to the bottom.

But remember this,

life will keep a rolling,

even through the ups,

and the downs.
