No Brakes

When spinning

out of control,

how do you slow

your world down

before it explodes,

and the fabric

of space-time

unravels?

 

Leaving you

with no time

or space to think,

and no handle

to get a grip

on yourself 

to save yourself

from the brink

of calamity?

 

Centrifugal forces

slinging you toward

your own insanity

at warp speeds –

velocities

as terminal

as sudden

decelerations

that can crush

your internals.

 

There are much

better ways to go,

but how do you slow

your world down

before your world

explodes?

Can be difficult to find that center, but your ease in word choice captures that uncontrollable feeling quite well. Great write!

Woven, it's a question asked just for the sake of asking. I use the written word to slow my world down when sh!t gets crazy. It helps me get a handle on things. Thanks for your feedback! I appreciate the read.
