Rollercoaster

By GirlintheBox

up and down and up and down
Emotion Rollercoaster
want to ride? i'll be your guide
i'll show you pain and strife

round and round and round and round
my head cannot stop spinning
i spin and fall, the Dizzy Doll
This is what i call life

back and forth eternally
thrown between extremes
no middle ground or pleasing sounds
to stabalize my head

to and fro and to once more
why can i not sit still?
i'll use this knife to end my life
i'll find calm when i'm dead

one more up and down and round
a back and forth encore
a to and fro to end the show
before the blood shall pour
