Where Is That Final Line?

My mind is tired.

It needs a break!

I lock myself in the room

Escaping emotional ache!

My mind is tired.

Too much goes in.

News and Politics. TikTok,

Facebook and Instagram.

Here we go! More news on Telegram!

The informational diarrhea

Influences my brain,

It pours in,

Time and time again.

Someone’s love and someone’s traumas.

Non-stop advice:

Recipes, foods, babies, and their mamas…

On repeat. He laughs, she cries.

Who struggles? My fragile brain.

Time and time again.

My mind is tired.

My mind needs a break.

I keep thinking, and I want it to stop.

I beg my thoughts, “Please, Do Not Pop.”

I binge-watched Netflix

“The Empress” is the show I love.

My eyes got fixed

On the Austrian Queen

Ruling her world

Yet, making mine feel dim.

After hours, I paused

I felt like I had overdosed.

Impressed by Queen’s gown

I put PJ on, feeling down.

Queen’s stress is her stress,

So, why am I depressed?

Her life is not mine!

So, where is that final line?

Why is my mind so tired?

Perhaps because it has been falsely wired?

My mind needs a break.

It feels like it is tight in a knot

While dwelling on news, real or fake,

And World War III

That could happen or not.

The outcome will depend on the ruthless

Men and women, both truthless.

All are striving for power.

And me? watching the screen by the hour.

But leaders' misery affects my life.

So, where is that final line?

My mind needs a break.

A break from my thoughts.

Overwhelmed!

What seems to help is vodka shots.

Thoughts running through without invitation

In inertia

Without consciousness.

Without consideration.

But, still, ruining my mood.

I need a break!

A change, for good!

Luckily, the brain is neuroplastic

Flexible, just like elastic!

I will let my mind rest

So, it can be its best.

I will help my brain rewire

To fulfill my own dreams and desires!
