The Roaming Poet

Dancing through my heart Dancing through life The troubled thoughts of monotony  Bring down the spirit so free Bogged with despair Dragged from the unconscious negativity that perpetuates the day-to-day But when that music plays It plays to your heartstrings These strings to your soul  Come alive from instinct A love for life ignites Pure bliss for the moment Hold that freedom

It whispers in your ear The voice inside your head Tells you maybe try For that little extra something Stopped by the fear Safer playing dead Blocked, asking why Desires always hunting Settle no more Close enough to risk Just live and let live Breathing just a breath A breath with no life So jump and lose that wind Dispose of restricting strife The jump where life begins

Thrill-seeking nerves Determined the risks Convinced to climb Choice is made I'm standing in the line Just pacing in my mind Racing all the time Waiting for the climb The line moves closer and closer Just passed the height required poster I've crossed the prior boxes Now pay for my admission Ticket in hand I go Next stop is the one I know Step up to my spot I sit and here's my shot Click click click It jerks with every inch But forward on it goes I'm moving on the ride My breath is heavy but steady I know that I am ready It's rising slowly up The work is almost here And just as the height is near I can feel it's so unclear The max is out of reach Farther than the ground line Here the cart has stalled And all before the crawl Was it all for nothing I'm sitting here on this track Asking not to go back but up Will this ride ever complete Or will I never reach the feat Stuck. Stuck?
