Sliding down a slide
Is like falling in love
You stand at the top petrified
The height looks scary
When you sit down
Bursts of excitement wash over
The ride itself is amazing
Laughter and squeals
When you open your eyes the bottom is near
You try to brace yourself
But before you can stop
You're on the ground
Elbow skinned
Head throbbing from hitting the slide
Butt aching from hitting the ground
But after a few tears and bandaids
You find yourself climbing the stairs
Only to do the same thing
Over again
