Rollercoaster

My skin can not contain my spirit A bursting heart, fluttering with laughter Cannot help but leap from its bed A sincere smile that reflects the mind Is a delicacy seldom seen If only it could stay A single word slips from a naïve tongue Short-lived happiness withers The smile, once suspended in timeless merriment Dies Plummetting into a cave Light is swallowed up I may climb out soon, but Eventually it will devour me once more Up, down, up, down Goes my radiance Not all rollercoasters are fun
