Twists and Flips

Life's twists and flips are sometimes overwhelming,

People say life is like a roller coaster for this reason,

I think differently.

A roller coaster is predictable,

You can see the twists you are heading for.

Most things life throws at you, you never see coming,

Embarrassing moments, broken bones, a lost loved one...

Sometimes it would be better if life were more like a roller coaster,

Your tracks laid out for you to see,

to be prepared for moments that hurt down to your soul,

but then again... I think differently.

Sometimes the best things in life,

you don't see coming,

and those moments make the ones that hurt,

worth living for.
