Life Is A Roller Coaster Of Compromises

Risk-takers love the anticipation

As their riding up

A towering

Drop off point

During life's coaster ride

Of joy & setbacks

Hurriedly racing down

These roller coaster tracks

Are risk-taking passengers

Bypassing family

Friends & Even

Random acquaintances

Who can dismiss

The exhilarating feeling

Where velocity

Challenges their wits end

To appreciate

The Twists & Turns

For this exciting thrill

Forever demanding

Everyone's attention span

Who're riding

At high speeds

Creating a newly awakened

Adrenaline rush

Where everyone on board

Came to terms with

An adventurous sensation

As a fine line between

Possibly losing

Their present life's inception date

As this particular fate

Could come to pass

After all options

Were weighed out

Amongst every daring outcast

Before boarding

This eventful & mind blowing ride

It's compelling to know that

Life Is A Roller Coaster Of Compromises

There are very few images that can reflect the human condition better than a roller coaster...it's a common image but you've put your own unique spin on it here and made it fresh...nicely done :)

I actually have a poem called Love is a Roller Coaster.. (also takes a lot of compromise). I enjoyed the direction you took with this Bri. Rose

Compromise can make some feel sick, but it's the only way to achieve balance...

Life can be a roller coaster, but that's what makes it fun! You just have to remember to hold on and keep you eyes open! Love this one! :) Julie

Never know what life is going to bring us or where it will take us....we have to hold on tight and wear that seatbelt! Very well written...the images were incredible! The adventure of life IS a roller coaster. Lydi**

I'm a roller coaster junkie and enjoyed the ride you took me on. Life really is fully of ups and down, filled with compromise.

Life not quite what we expected. Great poem and fantastic title.

Your poem is an adrenaline rush B...I love roller coasters, that you compared them to the compromises in life is genius, so true, it's enough to make you dizzy. Well said!
