anticipation

never underestimate

anticipation

let it be

like the clicking

of a rollercoaster

car as it

rises to the top

of a hill

steady climb

right before the brink

of freefall

and as you shiver

quiver

as it wells up

inside

inhibitions

stress

thoughts

in general

all

disappear

and as you

realize

that there

is no turning back

truly

locked in

for what is

next

an odd sense

of calm

overcomes

and as you

raise your hands

and let out

top-of-your-lung

breaths

gravity

attempts to

pull you down

back to

earth

but with

anticipation

what's meant

to be

fast chaotic

excess

becomes an

even steeper

climb

all the way

to cloud

nine
