I bump along the wooden track,
Along this time around,
Climbing up into the mountains
High above the ground.

My life suspended for a while,
My happiness at such height,
Where dangers cannot touch me now
Or take me from my flight.

But how could I forget the fact
That nothing good will last,
This drop ahead is nothing new –
Just a horror from my past.

My smile quickly fades away
As I fall from the sky,
Taking this familiar dive,
Asking myself why?

Enclosed in the blackened tunnel,
Hidden from the sun,
I close my eyes and fold my hands –
Too late, my fear has won.

I’m trapped inside this darkness,
Afraid this is the end
When finally I see the light,
Just around the bend.

Broken from the crippling spell,
I continue on my way,
But not before remembering
The pain that will forever stay.
