Roller Coaster Rides

Just when you think that you

Are cruising on success road

And the big car sale around the corner is just redundant

Because you can afford the car at the original price

And let the car dealer keep the change

That’s when you receive the good news

That it’s time to gaze Mr. Catastrophe hard in the face

And what a face!

It creeps up on you

And pierces your flesh like an arrow

Not the one cupid shot

But one that has possibly missed its target

By the hungry hunter

Its dexterity knows no bounds

Meaning, now, you have a liability

You have to pay for something

Something you didn't do

Or probably did in your past life

Something you should have 

Or shouldn't have thought about doing

If not, then this face is just one of those phases

One of the normal ups and downs of life itself

Which do you think is worse?

Life or its inevitable roller coaster rides?

You don’t even have a choice!
