Buffer Overflow

Today I feel completely overwhelmed.
Everything seems to have just come to a stop,
Like my brain has been writing data beyond its allocation,
I can’t think straight,
I can’t process,
My memory is lagging,

I’m trying to provide myself comfort in any way I can.
There were too many questions at once today,
Too many requests,
Like I had too many tabs open and loading on a slow connection.

The sound was so loud,
Overlapping sounds,
Laughter,
Voices,
All competing for volume.

It was just too much,
I had to leave the city,
I had to run,
I had to retreat
I needed calm,
To find a little solace to get some work done.

I must do something to slow down this overclocked brain.
I’m back home in the country now and I have logged back in.
There are no sounds except birds and a distant garbage truck.

I may have to close my eyes for a moment and reboot,
I’m optimising my settings,
Trying to save them so I can focus,
But I fear my storage is also at capacity.
