whirlpool thoughts

I need to stop and still my mind before my ever turning thoughts swirl into a whirlpool of confusion where I sink to the bottom of a doubt filled lake. Wow this mind of mine is a powerful one! I just created a nightmare from a thought that I should have observed instead I got swept away and carried away until I was so lost I found myself in a hopeless place. Hopeless in the way that I know I am here but nowhere to be found, I’m neither up or down, in our out, here nor there. But I am. My thoughts bang loudly and echo back at me. I whisper to myself that everything will be okay, I can do this I can dig deeper and overcome myself, after all my only down fall will be if I give up on myself.
