Notes About The Poem

 

 

Gothic Girls Don'T Roller Skate

 
When I was a kid
I liked to skate fast
Not on frozen ice
But on roller skates
Down a great big hill

We were a group
Of skating kids
I had pink wheels
My friend had blue

A steep hill
Oh delight
We just went

Faster
Faster

Down !

When I was grown up
And so dignified
I wanted to skate
Not on frozen ice
But on roller skates

The hill looked steep
My courage gone
Took off the skates
Oh forever

Falling fear
Speeding fear
Crash for sure

See girls
Gothic

Watch !

James Inman February 19, 2016 at 4:01 PM Those long ago days when nothing could hurt us, then we grow up and understand the realities of life. There is a lot of pain out there and the fear can be overwhelming.
