Back and forth my head spins
with visions of past, present, and future
slowly fading in and out of view
each time it seems I circle out of control.
Day and night they grow and ebb
filling me with the full range of emotions
from over-abounding joy and happiness
to the soul-crushing despair and depression.
Deep inside I hold to the light
of all the people I know
that I have held and helped
over all these many years.
People who flood my memories
and color each and every thought I have
coming back to help anchor me
before I am well and fully lost.
Up and down the range I go
seeking to hold onto my sanity
before being washed away
and lost in the swirls of black.
