Talking to Myself Again

It's okay if the world is spinning
It's okay if it's going so fast that you can't keep up and it's okay that you're dizzy again and your head is pounding
Focus on the car door handle
Focus on the lock switch
Don't look at the streetlights whizzing by
Don't look at the guardrail turning into a steady blur
Don't look at the lake it's too cold and it would not feel nice to stay under for that extra second
Focus on the handle and the switch
It's locked
It's going to stay locked until the ground stops moving beneath you and your family
But the ground won't stop moving beneath you
But it's okay if the world is spinning

And it's okay if it won't stop
