am I so dizzy?
The world spins.
I can not catch up with it.

I am lost,
somewhere in a strange and dark place.
The squirrels and birds are snickering now,
Mocking my every move.
I start looking around for my savior or a friend
I cannot move.

Am I glued to the forest floor?
They are advancing towards me now.
I open my mouth to scream...
yet nothing comes out.

They are ready to attack,
a red gleam in their eyes
This is my hell.
I will be stuck here forever.

Their small, sharp claws are like razor blades
piercing my soft pale flesh.
I am stained a crimson red.
I assure myself that I will die within minutes.

As I weep silently while lying on the ice-cold ground,
My entire life blurs before me,
like a drive-in movie theatre.
The starless sky is the screen.

I came to realize how selfish I had been,
thinking solely on my own behalf.
I have to be strong.
I cannot die now,
I have my whole life to live.

The snickering creatures disappeared,
and my wounds healed.
I jumped to my feet with sudden strength,
and walked away.
I finally caught up with the
ever so quickly spinning world
