Afterwards I wonder what the -non- fuss was about

I can't tell if I'm spiralling up or down It doesn't take much sometimes I suppose this is called reeling (Loss of balance) No one need ever know, I can hide it I shouldn't stay home Mondays 'Reeling' I can feel the whole word Imagine the spin, wanting to be brought back Then the links to reality - hey everything is fine Except balance points - none but my own two feet I'm mixing up the meanings of the word Just like thoughts and feelings get jumbled I'll put everyone at arms length I'll fret that I'm unwanted I'll sit quietly waiting for it to pass I have been triggered My heart races, my heart races I need to touch the ground And then I spoke to a friend Everything sorted itself out Lines unravelled It's all ok when I'm just understood And given a moment

Dear, DD, You eloquently capture the inner turmoil we sometimes face, the feeling of spiraling without knowing which way is up. But amidst the chaos, there's a glimmer of hope – the power of understanding and connection. Your journey from confusion to clarity teaches us of the importance of reaching out and being understood. This is a very reflective piece that ultimately celebrates the healing power of friendship and empathy and I loved it. - Blessings, Daniel
