Roller coaster living
round and round we go
this may never end
mama told me so
Roller coaster nightmare
haven't got a clue
scared to jump off
what on earth to do?
Seeing same old landscape
rolling round once again
this is just too ingenious
there is no master plan.
Now can count the seconds
to the tree once more
one might think me handicap
adding up this score.
Look, there's a crack in the door
an opening if you will
this time let's go for it
before we're over the hill.
Maximized conditions favorable
to our freedom's fine-lined plot
this is our opportune advantage
Let's give it all we've got!
No more roller coaster tributes
no more wasted time complexity;
just a hit-the-ground running,
with a freedom call's simplicity.

I like the sense of emancipation that comes from the last stanza and I think that the use of a rollercoaster to represent your idea was an interesting choice. Some people would have gone with the ups and downs... but you focused on the round and round. Thank you for bringing more depth to the humble rollercoaster and I wish you the best of luck in the contest
