I need to close the app, reboot the weekend
start from
scratch
recharge my battery, my energy has lapsed
my power supply has run flat, and I’m about to collapse
download an update. life running slow
some faults, some bugs, a virus?
who knows?
but there are pop ups all over my brain
I can’t focus on the screen, it’s like a falling rain
through which I can’t see
advertisements bombarding me
thoughts and dreams spark
ideas distractingly
Need to disconnect
pull out the cable that enables a route
to the outside
I need to hide
Turn off the camera on my life
delete some pictures I’d
rather not see
Before it crashes
I need to change the settings that are
feasting on my memory
there is some lag
my energy is beginning to flag
I can’t keep the pace going
the program has hit a snag
too many embraces and handshakes
when all I want is an empty
screen
a slate wiped clean
a break from this program that inside is making me scream
The game is making me twitch
my brain is glitching from the always-on power switch
my eyes are streaming from being open too much
like the sun through my windows screaming along
and outside the world in such a rush
I just want to flake out
fall into the arms of someone
that cares
I just want to lie there and forget the world
for a few hours
just turn off the power
because it’s all getting too much
and my hand is hovering over the button marked self-destruct
I fear my drivers have become corrupt
and I need someone to repair this aging system before it
gives up
Thanks For Reading.
Check out my books on Amazon.
And take a look at the BBC Radio Leicester Facebook page
where they have featured one of my poetry videos!!
Peace & Love.
