Life is an Adventure

From the moment of birth
When an innocent child shares
The same air with its mother,
The adventure begins,
And the flight doesn't end
Until ashes reclaim what they gave.

Front seat on the roller coaster
As it slowly climbs the hill
Topping the crest and
Plummeting down to a certain death.

As wave after wave of
Adrenaline gushes through
Over-stretched veins,
Eyes growing too large to see.
The mind become mush as 
The body grows limp and
Legs fail to carry their weight.

Ready to heave
Once the hassle is over
Promising "never again".
Yet knowing full well that
You've caught the addiction
That no force on earth can abate.
Life's an adventure, ready to wear,
Traveling in circles, awaiting the dare.
