Overwhelming

overwhelming

*

life comes down in torrents

and I am drowning

*

frantic

doggy

paddling

round and round

in circles

clambering out

*

at the same spot

*

where life

is still

the same

*

and words fill in the gaps

where interest used to be

*

and the world

does not care

one bit

*

just keeps on falling

*

in an overwhelming torrent

*

drowning me

*
