Scream if you want to go faster!

A villanelle

Just hold on tight, feel the whole crazy ride,

Fast bits and curves, trudging ups, hell-bent downs,

Face into the wind, and know that you tried.

*

Sure, you can skip it, sit side-line and bide,

You’ll still hear the screams, and some are delight.

Just hold on tight, feel the whole crazy ride.

*

They said it was easy? I tell you they lied.

Ease grants you existence, hard earns you life.

Face into the wind, and know that you tried.

*

Some parts are bumpy, and sometimes you’ll glide,

All will whip past you, so don’t close your eyes.

Just hold on tight, feel the whole crazy ride.

*

Look out with wonder, the vista is wide,

Oceans and mountains, with treasures to find.

Face into the wind, and know that you tried.

*

So jump in today, you can’t once you’ve died,

Sing sad songs and happy, laugh, rage and cry,

Just hold on tight, feel the whole crazy ride,

Face into the wind, and know that you tried.
