ROLLERCOASTER
Some days I feel invincible,
Some days I'm sure I'll lose.
Life is a roller coaster
Whose spirals we can't choose.
Life is a lovely garden
Where flowers and fruit abound.
Life is a bucking bronco
That throws me to the ground.
My days are filled with sunshine
Or gloomy, dark and dank.
Today was going fairly well
Until my dreamboat sank.
Some platitudinists insist
That if I just believe
I'll love that roller coaster ride
Until it's time to leave.
I am of melancholy bent
Preparing for the worst
The wineskin of my discontent
Will surely crack and burst.
And yet -- tomorrow might be great!
There's battles to be fought!
I might compose some wondrous verse,
Or solve life's Gordian knot.
Some days I feel invincible,
Some days I sing the blues.
Perhaps the best is yet to come!
What do I have to lose?
