her life had become a ride
it's dipped her playfully into the black abyss
then shot her up to cloud nine
it would idle in a state of content
then drop her one more time
it cycled on day in and day out
she'd begin content and ready for her day
a smile creeping at her lips
she'd escalate quickly
words moving fast
blood pulsing
until she'd hit the top with a laugh
and quickly crash
hitting the ground
hard
each time slamming her more than the last
tears flowing as she fell
it's demons daring to slice her skin
and send her over the edge
and then it would shoot her straight back up again
a sinister cackle following behind
people stared at her
unsure what to do
who was this girl
standing before them
changing each second
every minute a new mood
inside she was screaming for it to stop
these antics of her mind and body
she feared they would kill her
if she didn't end it soon
was she going crazy?
she yelled inside
or was she already there.
