Vertigo...

i know now;
the world spins,
no further proof required,
for i am dizzy beyond belief...
Is it the heights from which i've peered
or the depths i have peered out from?
The changes as swift as to make my ears pop
and me drop down to my knees wondering,
what is the use in these,
my heart, my soul,
when i really have so little control
on the very things that define me?
Look behind me and you'll see a trail of tears;
a diaphanous veil, a thin veneer
behind which hides
or is it lurks?...
i can be play the hero
or be the villian,
feel as though both could work
all too easily...
