I read this online and thought that I would share it with the group. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.


Its like leaping off a mountain

Or falling from the sky

Exhilaration takes over

And you feel that you can fly



When reality is fantasy

And your existence seems unreal

Others could never comprehend

These emotions that you feel



Life is a constant roller coaster

With far less ups than downs

Often faced with judgment

And ever knowing frowns



The things you do seem normal

To you theres nothing wrong

But the constant inner voices

Sing to you a different song



Then you get the warning signs

The adventure is near its end

You drift back deep inside your self

And there you hide to mend



Your days then fill with sorrow

Guilt and deep regret

Fearing unknown enemies

The ones youve not yet met



You wish your life were just a ride

So you could yell Enough!

Im tired, Im scared, and Im all mixed up

Please, just let me get off!
