Bicycle
I’m riding my bicycle
It feels as cold as icicles
The connecting, white bars appear like triangles
Preserving the rounded black wheels; they never entangle
The wheels turn in a steady pattern
The bicycle chains follow after
They wheels step slowly across the black asphalt
Rarely, they race too fast to halt
And speed past the green trees and fields
Lined up with yields
Of grass
My hands remain shaky on the handlebars
They soon become filled with calloused scars
My legs remain wobbly and shuddering
It seems they can’t perform the command I’m uttering
Inside my head; I’m too afraid
Afraid of going too fast, or of the bike being swayed
Too far towards the left or right….
Sending me crashing to the ground in fright!
My feet move back on the pedals
My hands click the breaks; as cold as metals
Each time I try to move the pedal, my foot slips
Back to the ground; in rapid dips
Come on, Esther! I yell silently
Yet, my legs continue to shudder violently
The sun shines gently on my back
Some wind starts to whack
My body
After waiting for a little bit, I tried again
Hoping I won’t be afraid, and not give up, then
I press down on the pedal, and to my suprise,
My leg picks up; and the wheels glide!
I’m riding my bike; finally!
The wheels speed up, the bike veers slightly
I think I’m liking this bike riding!
