Whirling Through Life

Spinning

in life's unrelenting tilt-o-whirl

starting out excited, full of ambition

rushing on to the ride of life

with great expectations.

Beginning is thrilling

until you become nauseous

and full of regret.

Why did I rush into this?

Spinning

nausea

regret

and then it terminates.

You walk away

with disgust in your belly

regret in your brain

shaking in your legs

asking why you'd do that

to yourself again.

Inside, you're the small child

not knowing to think ahead

and only coming to the conclusion

that you shouldn't have rushed through life

spinning

nausea 

regret
