Riding the Roller Coaster of Dreams

Ups and Downs of Life's Journey

By Holly RaePublished 3 years ago 1 min read

My dream it held something I could not deny

On a coaster ride that launched up to the sky.

The stars twinkled brightly, so much more than before

But then suddenly, my roller coaster reached its floor.

Faster and faster I felt the spin,

As my dreams of adventure began to dim.

A lurching feeling like nothing else before

As I watched my rollercoaster run off its floor.

I fought against the fear that surged through my veins;

For this dream was sure to cause me shame.

But when I awoke all worry had gone,

Soaring dreams of roller coasters still carry on!

The dream kept me running, through thick and thin

As I watched my roller coaster take a dive again.

It was a wild ride and I could feel the wind

But eventually, I returned to reality's gentle grind.

The feeling of fear slowly started to subside;

For with dreams there's always joy that can't be denied.

Though I don't remember it all so clear,

I still have fond memories of my roller coaster dream that lingers near.
