Our World

Our world
            is out of control spinning faster and faster
            every single day.
            Some days feel as though the world is
            swallowing me alive.
With all the pushing, shoving,r rushing
            yelling, shooting, killing.
            Most times there is scarcely time to
            slow down or stop to take a breath.
            I wonder how I can help me with all this
            spinning out of control?
Inside me I have a special room I retreat to.
             there all is quiet filled with kitties, silly     
             and soft things.
             There my mind can rest, my faith gets
             refreshed, and renewed I let it all go.
The world
             can keep going on as fast as it wants but
             without me in it.
