Rollercoaster of Life

my life has always been intense.

there is only good or bad,
only black or white,
only love or hate,
only pain or joy

yet there is nothing in between.

these intense emotions
are a part of my life since ever
and there are a lot of moments
in which I’m asking myself
how long I can go on like this

because I can’t think of a time it was different.

I feel like my life
would be a never-ending trip
on a rollercoaster
yet I can’t get out,
no matter how bad I want to,
the rollercoaster never stops

and I don’t seem to ever get out.

up and down,
a rollercoaster ride through life,
yet I never liked rollercoasters

but maybe
having to live like this
is the explanation
for why I’ve always been so scared
to get on a rollercoaster

it just feels too familiar.

every time I was on a rollercoaster
the only thing I felt was anxiety
and I was thinking
that I’m going to die
all the time

this feeling is also a part of my everyday life.

sometimes I’m thinking
I can’t go on like this,
in the next moment
everything is over,
I’m going to die

yet I’m still alive.

and sometimes I’m flying so high
that I’m asking myself
how it’s possible
that I’ve ever felt that bad,
and how it’s possible
that this moment was not
that long ago

then I realize again
that it’s the same
when you’re on a rollercoaster
