2A series
Of the most exciting ride
Climbs and drops, Loops and twists
Giving adventure and hysteria
Strap in
Giddy with violent expectation
Sick with dreadful promise
Will it be as they say?
Gripping, thrilling, plunging possibility
Should we embark?
Board and take the risk?
...
The Climb is filled with weighty anticipation
Mouth dry, palms damp
Thighs sticking to seat with sweat
Feet are numb and fingers go cold
Heart rate increase with altitude
Click. Thump. click-thump, clickthump
Ceremonial drums beat rapidly against your ribs
Energy expended with the drop abiding
With the sadistic smile awaiting your entrance
Chicken and sheep soup for dinner
Reaching the summit, the culmination of endeavor
Undertaking each trial, emotional, physical, mental
Achieving the highest point ever lived.
Peering through slivers at the impending descent
Nails dig into plastic and regret bursts in mind
Why come this far only to be dropped?
Then the invisible devil emerges
Pushing, suddenly, the naive victims off the precipice
...
Screaming to the sky
Clinging to the bar
Crying,
Strained, heavy laughter spewing from your mouth
Hands in the air flying
Bruised body thrown about within guards
Arms dangling next to heads
Eyes teary and bright
Wind scrambled hair
Guts rolling inside out
Stomach cargo tossed about
Teeth white and bare
Falling to pieces at rock bottom
And plateau with relief
...
It's over
For now.
...
Is it worth it?
...
It's different for everyone
I've experienced plateaus and drops
But can't remember the last journey up
The horizon in the distance, a showing of my efforts
The pride of survival
But the fall is shocking, crushing.
So impactfully horrifying
That it has dispelled memory.
...
The Challenge is to hold
Hold on as long as possible
Each round is harder to endure than the last.
Will you push on against disaster
Or will you get off?
I've outlasted twenty-one rounds
Here's to the next.
AN: I recently passed a milestone (woohoo!), so I decided to write something about it! Hope you all liked it! 8)
