And when it fails

It happens sometimes
The world forgets how to spin
It starts slowing down and people don't know what to do
It puts you in positions you are not used to
You start falling and hurting yourself as you hit objects around the room
It forgets to look after you with this gravity shield we are given
It gets out of control.

You start crawling around the ruins that are left in sight
The places you once looked at with such light
Are how deserted and dark and blood heavy
The world has spun too hard this time
It's taken lives
No one can understand why
And is searching for blame
Then all of a sudden that tranquility is spoiled
The life we exist in has been tainted and no matter what we wash it in, the stains won't come out
And the hate is rising like hell itself
It's showing
the rooms have become red and covered in pain
And noone can breathe
It's getting too much
The tears don't help anymore
The grief doesn't end
The world has just spun out and damaged too much
Unrepairable
Unconsolable
Unhealthy
Unworthy
We are all left lost with only our mirrors for company
Strewn out lives
Damaged dreams
All away for one last time
One last breath
One last sight
The last thing they felt was fear
The last thing they say was terror
And so it continues
The world spins again once more
We wait
We wait for the next hit
The next tragic disaster
Life
Whatever happened to compassion
Community love and worth
Relationships of meaning and trust
All forgotten
All lost
All unclear
Please change
I'm living in this life And I'm scared
I shouldn't be
Life should be worth it
