Wild Ride

Her mind is taking her On a roller coaster ride That goes against the tide It crashes deep and wide. She raises her emotions Her voice fills up the air She has a lost, blank stare Her logic isn't there. Incessant is her tongue Insisting she is right A down and dirty fight She speaks with all her might. Determined are her eyes To get just what she wants She yells out verbal taunts The force can truly haunt. If only she would seek And listen to the cries Of wisdom from on High Her soul won't crash and die. 2015
