Brain Overload

Brain Overload

My mind filled up,

Room by room,

Until even silence

Started to scream.

Thoughts crashed hard,

Like waves in winter,

Fierce and unsteady,

Dark as a closing door.

I tried to breathe,

But shadows pushed in,

Crowding every corner,

Leaving little space for hope.

Memories flashed bright,

Then shattered like glass,

Falling to the floor,

Too sharp to touch.

Voices I knew,

Turned harsh and strange,

As if someone rewired them,

Changing their tone.

I felt myself drifting,

Far from the world I saw,

As if the mind I lived in

Was slipping out of shape.

I reached for light,

Any small spark,

Something to prove

I was still here.

And in the spinning noise,

I whispered my name,

Holding it close,

Like a key to the door.
