The Comedown

You sit at the top then turn upside down, a carnival of unwanted feelings; So difficult to handle the comedown stillness is torture so you move around; On this ride it’s hard to get your bearings; Memories follow you from town to town, water guns and balloons winning prizes; This constant fresh start just tantalizes.

I like this poem, because it makes me think of the song "Coming Down Again" by the Rolling Stones. It seems to talk about an emotional roller coaster ride with a loved one, and I can relate to that. I like to write about feelings, sometimes that's the only way to sort them out

Nailed it. That's exactly what I was writing about. Also same. That is how I work through emotions. Thank you so much.
