Stop spinning

My mind spinning around Just like a fast 
merry-go-round. 

The same screaming in my head but 
Not making any sound. 

Trying to open my eyes but the spinning 
Makes me sick. 

So every time I open my eyes I have to 
Shut them quick. 

Spinning even faster now I cannot catch 
My breath. 

How do I stop this spinning that just might 
Cause my death. 

To stop this constant spinning a breath I
Must take. 

I understand that the breath of life
Will activate my brake.
