Tip your head back
And clench your eyes shut
Around and around and around you go
Past memories are so vivid
As though they just happened
You taste bile in your mouth
And scrunch your face
Spinning all around
And everything becomes a blur
You put your hand out
Wanting to be rescued
Wanting to stop feeling faint
Men and women in masks
Look at you and sigh
No one reaches put to hold you
Or take you off
You want to stop spinning
But they don't care
In front of you
You see a human going around
Behind you a pleading girl
Looks at you
You close your eyes again
