Spinning... 2.13.15
Out of control, around and around
Head still spinning, can feel the ground
Closer and closer as it comes
Wishing a blink could make me numb
No time to drop, no time to breathe
Have to hold it together, for them not me
Vision gets blurry, hands start sweating
Heart is racing, there's no forgetting
Wish these thoughts would go away now
Can't make that happen, no way no how
People depending on me being strong
Cannot let anyone see what's wrong
Hold it together, just breathe they all say
Bow your head, believe and pray
Been there done that, don't help at all
Keep going and faking it, no time to fall
Hide the shakes, hide all the nerves
Keep pretending you see around the curve
Nightmares keep coming much more real
Can't get rid of it or ignore the feel
Thoughts back again, coming around
This spinning cannot take me down.
