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.

Yes, people can be like that, darkened in the own world, not seeing past their own thoughts, shooting off at the mouth, taking everyone out.
