Carousel

"Worry is a misuse of your imagination."

By Emily OceanPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

you are a clockwork carousel;

the words inside you spin starry waltzes

horses rotate like the cruel cycles

you trap yourself within.

the cogs in your mind sabotage

the motions of your irresolute mouth.

negatives eclipse positives.

break, breathe, begin.
