The First Fall

Today was the day,

time to go,

time to depart.

I woke up.

trying to gulp,

food and water,

the heart pounding,

round the neck. 

Walking towards it,

shivering, getting numb,

try to wander away,

but once along the flow,

there is no other way.

pearls of perspiration,

drooping along the face,

screams flying in the distance,

scare me spirits away.

Sitting in the chair,

fastening me tight,

now no escape,

now no fight.

It begins slow,

Go up and up,

my senses plummet,

down and down.

At the peak,

A brief moment of silence,

And the great free fall.

Time just flew by,

And so did I,

My first roller-coaster ride,

And yes,

I am still ALIVE!
