It feels as though it's never quiet.

I breathe lighter now

I'm aware I have a lot going on.

My scars are badges, marks of strength

But, it feels as though no matter what I do, there's

I hold no anger

never a moment of silence. My brain is so full, 24/7. Tedious things playing on replay, information absorbed that I'll never use again. My emotions are like a storm outside of a plan. The turbulence shakes me, and tears fall down my face. Overwhelmed is what I am. So I guess the question is... How do I organize my brain?
