Fear

Fear

The darkness froze her very essence,
over taking her senses until every vein in her body was filled with dread. 
She was sure that she would fall to her death
as the coaster climbed higher,
her fear matched its height. 
How could she stay alive after this death drop? 
Her mind reeled, her body shook,
but she held on tight,
determined to conquer the ugly fear that overtook her. 
She reached the top, she let out a wail,
she suddenly forgot her need to feel. 
All at once she was holding her stomach. 
Her legs were her ears, her arms were her toes. 
Abruptly, the crushing ride came to a halt. 
She unglued herself to find joy and triumph for her being in one piece at the abrupt stop.
