Swirls

A swirl is not your friend
it walks beside you, but sometimes it is inside you
it makes you feel bad, useless, hopeless and lost....
it sucks you into a vortex of fear, or anger, or both.
It's like a virus, airborne, seeking a host body.
Sucked in, helpless in its grasp, you feel there's no escape,
and you are distressed and disturbed.
Is it something you've done, or not done.......do you feel ashamed?
Your head feels full of pressure and empty of thoughts,
feelings of dread fill you up.
You have to find your thoughts again. Where did they go?
