A Big Thrill Ride

“My life has been nothing but a roller coaster of dysfunction and it never seems to end.” By tornapart on supportgroups.com

loopy run course
upside down excitement
shouting; straining laughter
combed hair turned into knots

shooting star
with sprinkled cotton candy
rabbit falling down the hole
fear of going through the rail

sun beating
pleasant night wind
breath knocked out of lungs
heart and stomach being one

upward pull; downward swing
weightlessness
uncontrollable momentum
entertaining fun
