The merry-go-round

I wish I had more control on how I feel.

Up and down, up and down you go,
The endless cycle of joy and woe.

It's killing you, you know. The damage is rich.
You want to get off, but scared to touch the off switch.

This ride is unrelenting.
Some days you feel full, some day you feel empty.

When the days are full, you're free.
You can finally smell the flowers and hear the buzzing of bees.

God life is good, it's never been better,
You hope these feelings go on forever.

But, like clockwork, here comes the empty.
Its deafening silence is utterly depressing.

It takes everything. Friends, family,
Hopes and goals.
Everything that once made you whole.

The full comes back, it's relieving.
But you know the cycle is just gonna keep on repeating.

Just stay still. JUST STAY STILL. have you no decency? Have you ever heard of the word "consistency?"

thats the way it goes,
just around and around. somedays, I want to shut the whole thing down.

yes indeed life can be termed as a merry go round, it seems that pain becomes endless and joy becomes too limited but doesn't stop a person if he wants to view life with optimism that there will always be a brighter side to things.
