Spin.

My world is spinning,

was spinning,

begins spinning.

It's hard to tell where this all end,

tomorrow could be too late,

yet yesterday as late as tomorrow,

as late as today.

At this very moment in time,

many moments at that,

I can't tell right from wrong,

up from down.

Yet my senses keen.

What is this?

Could it be?

It's too late too tell.

Am I happy or just well?

Sad? Simply no way to tell.

All I know is

as of now,

in this time frame I lay,

naked until the light of day,

not knowing my way,

lost as a sheep,

just a passerby on a city day.

Intelligence is a scare,

That's why most challenge air.

For tomorrow comes without a doubt,

as i spin,

the world most definitely,

wins.


The author's comments:

I used this piece to describe the ongoing stress and struggle I deal with day by day and how right when I feel that I have life figured out, it takes a sharp turn. It describes the confusion I deal with and how I've come to the conclusion that there is no way to figure out how life works and that the real challenge is to accept it how it is and not get too caught up in the world.
