Rollercoaster of life

you try to do everything right
build a life
Put up a good fight
yet one decision
One reaction
can change it all
your life was Perfect
You had it all
everything You have ever wanted
and more
your world
your life
blows up in your face
and down the big hill
the rollercoaster of life
your hopes
your dreams
all gone in just one night
you hit rock bottom
trying to pickup the pieces
to fly high again atop the big hill
it's a slippery slope
a hard fight to win
the sky gets brighter
as you crest the top
although you only picked up some pieces
down again you go
hitting rock bottom even harder than before
life shatters
a billion pieces
you lose it all
with it
your hope
yet again you grab a broom
pick up some pieces
each time losing parts of your self
to what end
at what point do you only pick up air
cause every part of yourself is lost

Really poignant poem. Cleverly worded piece. We just keep going..no choice. Better people hopefully.. just reconstructed..?
