A Roller Coaster Poem by Emily Krauss

Life is like a roller coaster
A rocky, rocky roller coaster
With hills, and mountains and windy paths

Sometimes I wish
My roller coaster
Of a life
Would halt and pause and stop still

And then the thoughts that come to me
Are of turning life backwards
To an earlier and happier time

But deep, deep down
In my heart
I keep on hearing the words
Like a never-ending song
In my head
Never Run Back To What You Broke

And when I hear those words in my head
I know that I have to keep my head up high
And be happy
With the Journey
Of my Roller Coaster Life
