Narrative Poem

My First Time At Six Flags

We had arrived at midday

It was cold and the sun was beginning to set

And there it awaited the theme park I so badly wanted to go

Which instead of being a friend ended up a foe

Eleven years of age I was

Never will I forget this memory I came upon

The remembrance of all the fear it caused

Just because this ride I got on

Out of all the people that came with me in this retreat

My best friend was the one that experience this right next to me

At first I was the one that was brave

But acting so brave was surely a mistake

When I sat down in the cart I was very inpatient

I wanted it to end and get over it once and for all

But I didn’t know the impact would be very strong

I didn’t know it will feel like getting smashed into a wall

Adrenalin pumped through my veins

And fear crossed my mind

At my side, was my partner

Who taught it was her time to die

When we reached the 255 ft peak

The cart stopped for a moment

Then with all its might it went down

With force that took control of my body motion

Through the rest of the ride unconscious I was

My body was uncontrollable flopping like a raged doll

When it ended I didn’t have a balance

My feet didn’t want to move at all

I got traumatized and made a promise

I would never come again to a Six Flags theme park

But over the years passed

It was just another thoughtless remark
