Poems

I wanted to post 2 poems I wrote a few years back. Hopefully I'll get back into writing more poems soon. Maybe posting these will inspire me.

Roller Coaster

Up and down

Lurching from side to side

Never knowing what to expect

Can't see the turns ahead.

That double loop hit me by surprise.

Feet dangling in the air

Feeling so insecure, is this safe?

Finally it slows down

Only to speed up

To zoom through the scariest twist of all!

A rapidly plunging downward spiral,

My heart stops.

It pulls up only just in time.

Am I safe yet? Can I look now?

Who can tell in the roller coaster of my life.

It may take a long time,
and a steel frame of mind
Who would have guessed
It would be such a mess?
I know that we are not born
To be sad and to morn.
Happiness is the plan of life
for it surely isn't strife.
We cannot live in the past
when there is the present -
We cannot dwell in the present
When there is our future.
Learn from our past mistakes
Then we will see what the future makes.
