RIDE

By: Beth M.

Life will throw you it's ups and downs,
life becomes a giant merry-go-round,
All you can do is hold on tight,
wishing and hoping with all your might,
that this ride be over starting tonight.

But when one ride is over,
another always begins,
death is just another sought after dream
to end this tortuous game.

Death, however, will only bring you
a brand new suit.
The cards are dealt,
your luck ran out.

The ride swings faster
you scream as you wish
that all your hope will make this ride switch,
from the beginning to its final end.

The ride slows down when you hop on,
you are the shelter from the merry-go-round.
The ride is easier,
the footing stronger.
My head and heart
forever are brighter.
Thank you for ending this nightmarish ride
and turning it into a fun night beside...
YOU.
