dizzy-ness

she was captivated

stuck in her daydream

and no one could pull her out

she spun around her room

as sweet sad songs blasted at full volume

she was absorbed

you can't interrupt her now

she spun around in circles

around and around

but her eyes were shut

so she couldn't grow dizzy

all she saw was darkness

she could feel her feet moving around with her

and the air rushing past

and the song,

blaring from her phone

vibrating in her ears

feeling it in her soul.

as the beat became faster

so did she

and there was her sister

calling out her name

but could she hear her?

would she hear her?

of course not.

her heart and soul was in the song

nothing could break her

from this strong connection

of her and music.

she opened her eyes

just a fraction

it was just a blur

and the beat was about to drop

she heard her sister call out her name

it was like a dream

her voice echoed around her like a song

but it didn't disturb her

she finally released

her feet slid beneath her

she let go and

let the dizziness take over

she fell with her eyes

rolling to the ceiling

dizziness fogging her brain

the song echoing to an end

her eyes were closed

she didn't realise

her head collided

with the edge of her bed

hitting it hard as a bullet

she fell to the ground

everything a blur

she was falling sideways

that's what dizziness does

she wasn't really

but it felt like she was

her sister screaming out her name now

she rolled onto her side

but it still felt like she was falling

into a deep black hole

because her eyes were slowly closing

and everything was black

but she felt there was nothing beneath her

and she was falling

falling into nothingness

dizziness is so strong

you need to be careful

her sister watched her faint

roll across the floor

with her eyes fluttering shut

she screams out her name

her eyes scrunched up

but she can't hear her

just a faint whisper

as everything turns into nothing.
