twenty two











it is simply
life
moments filled
with terror driven
heart pumping
fear
pale of face
palms wet
and clammy
filled with
an uncertainty
last felt
when only
a beautiful bud
on the thorny bush
of living
sometimes
we have a need
to prove the lie
i am not afraid
to ride
the roller coaster
