slowly climbing

inch sa pamamagitan ng inch

bringing me closer

to my doom

mga paru-paro of

anticipation

flutter nervously

in my stomach

knuckles whiten

jaws clench

what have I

gotten myself into

the suspense

is killing me

I'm going to hate it

I'm going to pag-ibig it

I might lose my lunch

but I don't care

heaven help me

here it comes...

--

I hold my breath...

--

and then
I scream
my stomach
drops
my breath
is stolen
my heart
is pounding
adrenaline
courses
through
my veins
amid screams
of sweet terror
I fling up
my hands
and ride on
the wings
of Thrill!
