Poetry: Overwhelming & On Linearity

Overwhelming
By: Anonymous
It feels as though it's never quiet.
I'm aware I have a lot going on.
But, it feels as though no matter what I do, there's 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?
On Linearity
Haiku by Anonymous
I breathe lighter now
My scars are badges, marks of strength
I hold no anger
