An Emotional Rollercoaster

Through the many changes of life
one goes up but then comes down
so often with no reason or no rhyme
just simply makes you show a frown

To show feelings makes one strange
for you have notions of others thought
thinking they think this of me I'm sure
but all the time I'm wrong a lot

The impression all of us sometimes give
is being cold-hearted lacking real care
not wanting to show how we really are
putting up our guard pointing to the air

But maybe if we dared to be really true
the other person would receive us back
with arms outstretched ready to cuddle
now wouldn't that show we can crack

Sometimes we need to take a chance
you never know what could come about
life could be transformed even overnight
believe? do you now have a doubt?

Sometimes i think we build the walls and are afraid to let our guards down because of past pain....that emotional rollercoaster is full of suspense and pleasure, one just has to be willing to enjoy the ride! As you can see this one made me ponder many thoughts....wonderful write Gordon! hugs :)
