Poem

I recently wrote a poem that targets teenagers. It's quite mediocre, but mediocrity is where I'm currently swimming nowadays :-)


Rollercoaster

We ride in pair
I'm glad you're there
just beside me -
I hope you'd be.

It's nice to know
you're here with me
to hold my hand
and calm my fear.

It looks immense
from where we are
this roller-coaster
chain of box cars.

You crack a joke
to make me calm -
hope you won't mind
my sweaty palm.

The cars go up
the iron rails
up to the top -
might as well dream:

when it goes down
and turn around
the loop we feel
like upside down

might as well scream
