' I said. <br /> <br />She said 'I spin off into my self <br />if I lose contact with something or someone else <br />outside myself. <br />Sometimes I am ok with the inner spin <br />but it gets scary sometimes and I feel nauseous <br />and lose my bearings where I feel vulnerable to <br />monsters and animals and horrible voices and people <br />talking. <br />'If I get there it is difficult to get back.' <br /> <br />'So, ' he said 'who knew a touch could mean so much? ' <br /> <br />'Well' she said <br />'it does.'<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-it-matters/
