Roller-Coaster

a poem by Shilpa Gandotra

Have you ever been on a roller-coaster?
One moment your on top of the world
The very next you’re deep down below
Up you’re excited
Down you’re catching your breath
Up you’re flying
Down you fall with a thud
Up you’re touching the sky
Down you’re scratching the earth
Up you’re the best
Down you are dreaded
Up you’re loved
Down you’re hated
This is life’s roller-coaster ride.
