Life in a freefall
To slowly climb the hill,
You feel the thrill,
Tardily your stomach
Flies.
At the top,
Time stands still.
Surrender fears,
Before the drop.
Your meal shaken to slop.
Free fall chaotic, fast
The feeling won't last
Accept it now,
Surrender or be crushed.
Otherwise, turned to dust.
The cart sways to a stop
This wasn't an attraction,
It was life,
Better live it wise.

I know that rhyme, rhythm, and meter are not academically standardized.
I am well aware of that, yet I primarily do free verse, and it's based on instinctual writing.
I try to avoid academic language or structure. My poems are not meant to convey a single answer.
I try to convey the unknown through minimalism, mostly dense short stanzas with many line breaks.
If you'd give a critique, please keep this in mind.
