Challenge
After reading this prompt, sit back in the most relaxed state you can manage where you are, take three steady and deep breaths at a normal breathing pace, then count to three mentally and write about the first thing that pops into your mind (Do it. :-p)
Broken Ferris Wheel
I tried to breathe
but couldn't do it.
My blood & mind
never find a moment
without a broken Ferris wheel
stuck in the on position,
digging into cement.
With every turn my
mind is rubbed raw
over & over & over
When will it end I ask ...
Not until I fly off from
the momentum or
until the wheel is buried
under concrete,
in mud where worms
Reside ...
