"Believe--It is our best defense."

Sensory overload.
It controls my soul.
It encompasses the definition of my life.

Sensory overload.
It clouds my thoughts.
It threatens to impale my sanity.

I fight back the tears
Yet they remain close behind.
I ignore the pressing pain
But it take pride in its fight.

I’m losing.
I’m losing it all.
Will I have time to say goodbye?
It wouldn’t miss me anyway.

I’m falling.
I’m swiftly falling.
Where will I end up?
When will the relief come?
Why do I even try?

I’m dying.
I’ll soon be gone.
It overcomes what’s left of me.
Sensory overload.

I wrote this in class a few months ago around the same time I wrote my first article.
Everyone was just so loud and I was feeling so terrible. It doesn't take a lot for my mood to plummet, and I guess I was just incredibly sensitive that day.
