'emotional Roller Coaster'

emotional big dipper
going up and then
   speeding down
my mind is in a spin
   how did I get here?

I don’t like the face staring back at me
   so cheerless
hazel eyes without their shine

a broken mirror
  dissimilar views
in between the heartache
  and expectant dreams

Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder who I am, Wilma. So often our emotions are conflicting. Hope you are doing well, dear. Would hate to think of you feeling like you're staring into a broken mirror that's creating stress in your life. Love, Carolyn

Your hearts are overflowing onto your paper and makes such amazing reading. Thank you for sharing your writing with us Wilma. Hope your day turns out better today then yesterday. Love, Carol

Yes, an emotional roller coaster ride can leave one feeling this way. You write about it very expressively.

I guess it helps to get your feelings down where you can see them. We see the message too and support with love. :) Lizzy
