Roller Coaster

March 7, 2010 by brooke 1 Comment

If your world is crashing down,
and everything is turned around,
brace yourselves
for the worst roller-coaster life can give.

Buckle-up,
this ride is one
you probably won’t enjoy…

Just sit tight,
hold on for dear life,
risk a smile or two.

The passengers behind you
are in the same old boat
everyone is going through
the same trials and errors.

Change is something
we don’t normally embrace
but hold out your arms
and catch it.

Like a star
like a wish
like the faraway moon,
hope still shines bright.

Look around you
down inside you
to find the strength to carry through.

    This is a beautiful poem, Brooke!!! It’s really inspirational and it’s something everyone can relate to!! I especially like the lines “Like a star, like a wish, like the faraway moon”. Great work!!
