Whirlwind girl

Emotional train wreck.

That term best describes the mess of emotional nerves that is me.

One minute I am calm, flowing through life as graceful as a leaf gliding on an autumn breeze.

But in a sudden blink of the eye I become a train wreck.

 

I am careening off the tracks of my life.

The impending crash brings on the pessimism of my disease.

Anger, depression, and grief all these emotions fill me as the train comes to the break in the tracks.

 

And suddenly without any hint of salvation the brakes are pulled into action.

Calm fills me once again and I am at peace; happiness showing on my face, I am relieved for a moment that the ride is finally over.

I have a moment’s time to compose myself before the ride begins once more.

There are never any malfunctions on this ride.

I will always be stuck on this never ending train ride.
