Merry Go Round

It started when I was little

I got on the Merry go round thinking “Oh What Fun”

Then it started to spin faster and I was Passing pain, fear, sadness, frustration

Faster and faster it spun and I kept screaming for someone to come help me

Faster and faster and then it got bigger and soon I was passing

Sadness, fear, anger, anxiety, frustration, and depression

I tried everything to get off

I tried to throw myself off but each time I Kept bouncing back until finally

I saw someone who I thought could stop the merry go round

I called out to her, but my call was returned with pain and anger

And faster and faster it went till I saw a boy

I called out to the boy and this time my call was answered

He tried to stop the merry go round but he couldn’t

All he could do was slow it

And in the meantime I realized he was on his own merry go round

I tried to stop his but all I could do was slow his wheel of emotions

We started to slip but I held on even when I thought I felt him trying to shake me off

He tried to throw himself off but I caught him

Then I tried and he caught me

This isn’t just child’s play anymore

I like how you desribe the turmoil of life in this piece......even when we have people around us, they are also going through their own issues.......and even if they can be there for us temporarily, we still need to make our own "merry-go-round" work. Great writing....:)
