The Coaster

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?
