rollercoaster

february prompts

sometimes you don't notice the cracks
the screws coming loose
falling down.
the lifelong ride ending with a fall
there's ups and downs
you take the long way around

but what happens when those screws 
mess up the track 
the way it was supposed to run
when your fellow passengers disappear
when the one you took the line with
when she slowly moves on

if life is a rollercoaster
and we are the riders,
then my advice is hang on tight
and try. 
don't stop trying
don't stop yelling at the highs
and crying through the lows

that's life. 
and life is a rollercoaster.
