I have always been a thrill-seeker.
Always happily anticipating the next climb
the drop that follows
the subtle dip at the bottom before
the next climb
and the calming effect
caused by their succession.

Now life is a roller-coaster.
Up
down
cool wind...
Up
down again.

It scares me
but not the kind
that slathers my face
with a smile
the kind
that makes me want
to cry.

Yet, even as I currently sit
I know that
deep down
I love this roller-coaster
most of all.

It's just like the other kind
only...
This is the most
extreme
roller-coaster
in the world.
