Words run a race
Inside my head
My heart quickens pace
Inside my chest

This roller-coaster brings no thrill
To my emotional state

I’m hurting 
I’m laughing
I’m crying
Sometimes I feel like
I’m dying
I’m living 
I'm loving
my life feels like 
Emotional roller-coaster
so many emotions
So unsteady like the waves
On the ocean
This is my life going through
The motions...

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

A shout into the void, or a whispered wish,
amplifies the loneliness concealed within.
And like the sheer beauty of a lionfish,
lust can lure the uninitiated in.

Love's an emotional roller coaster ride
that leaves you feeling drained, from the tears you've cried.
And in its free-fall moments, you want to scream,
for it feels more like a nightmare than a dream....

Ever feel like you’re alone 
When standing in the middle of a crowd?
Feeling like waldo in a find waldo book.
Like you no longer belong 
The awkwardness is tearing you down. 
Hating the way you view your self 
and wishing for a way out. 
The emotional roller coaster of highs and lows
Knowing you have tried to overcome. 
Never giving up before
Right now I am looking for the door. 
Am I kidding myself? 
Can I figure it out?...
