Spinning round and round
Giggles swirling around my ears
Giggles coming from me
Spinning round and round
Dress up to my waist
Gently undulating up and down
A blur all around me
Spinning round and round
Faster and faster
Laughter turn into sobs
Tears down my cheeks
I can’t see a thing
My head feels heavy
But I keep
Spinning round and round
My legs give out and I stagger to the ground
The blades of grass prick my skin
Grab hold of them
steady me
Spinning round and round
A blur all around me
I lay down to sleep
Better to stop
Spinning round and round
