Spiraling

My thoughts quickly spiral and tumble down

Making small, hollow sounds as they scatter

On the jagged rocks and litter below

Spiraled like scalloped potatoes,

A snail’s shell, or a smooth staircase

When spiraling, take a deep breath

Remind yourself everything is as it should be

As it was destined to be, meant to be

As it so rightfully should be

Then let go of the jagged rocks that weigh

You down in your pockets

Crack through the snail’s shells

The spirals are all in your mind

Because you’re a circle, complete, whole

And nothing can crush you
