Whirl
I always thought that if I could keep taking small steps forward
One in front of the other
That someday I'd end up where I was supposed to be
No matter which direction I set foot
After all, the world was on my side
Wasn't it?
And the world would look out for me
As if it had a responsibility
To keep me in order
Along with the rest of the universe
Within the order of the
Universe
Or so I thought
But in fact
The world whirled me around with it
Into orbit around the galaxy
Not sparing me from the chaos that
It was already spinning towards
Faster and faster
Without a single breath of hesitation
And I felt like the petals of a rose
Once beautiful but falling helplessly
Out
Of control
While still being swooped up in the wind
And then landing on the overlooked thorns below
I should have seen it coming
I should have seen you
