Rollercoasters

Rollercoasters

Do you enjoy rollercoasters like I do?
If you did, you'd know what I mean.

The waiting time, the anticipation
Of the wind blowing into your face,
Your hair flying wildly,
Screams torn from your throat.

Anticipation keeps you on your toes,
As you slowly move through the queue.
And as you finally reach the head of the line
And get into the first carriage,

Prepared to feel the adrenaline,
Course through your bloodstream.

The sheer thrill of it
Keeps you wanting for more,
And you go back for second, third and fourth rounds
Till you feel tired of all that screaming.
Slightly nauseous from that stomach-dropping feeling
That heart-plunging moment.

And when you get off the ride,
A sudden calm and peace overcomes you.

And than you think, "Maybe this is better than adrenaline-pumping rollercoasters after all."

Somehow, today feels detached.
Lethargic, somnolent and quiet.
Like floating gently in a body of still water.
No sudden fiery explosions of emotions.

A tired little girl who needs someone to watch over her while she sleeps and sprinkle some mischief into her life to make her joyful laughter bubble over again.
