Leak (an acrostic poem)

Losing his sanity drop by drop

Every little bit oozing out

As he tried to make sense of his Facebook feed

Knowing he should avoid the memes

Struggle (an acrostic poem)

So many children were screaming into the void

That the void got frustrated and threw the cacophony back

Resulting in an aural tsunami that came crashing over my consciousness

Undercutting the foundation of my sanity

Giving me a sonic lobotomy

Gone was any chance of getting anything done

Leaving nothingness

Existential emptiness

Peace (an acrostic poem)

Pushing the limits of Cara’s emotions

Each wave of new problems crashed over her sanity level

Awash in this tide of helplessness

Cara took a deep breath and looked within

Engaging her emotional core, she breathed out and found sanctuary
