Whirling World

The world all around me

spinning, racing, pounding

engulfing my emotions

smothering and drowning

trapped in a revolving cycle

feeling so much tension

irritation, resentment 

never any intervention 

life whirling faster and faster

vision blurred, can not undo

screaming from deep within

nowhere to escape too

sound pulsing through my veins

flooding my soul with pain

stop this speeding roundabout

will I ever find myself again?
