Mental Clutter
<p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><em><strong>The internet is noisy.</strong></em></span></p><p><em><strong>No, not with sound,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>but with weight.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>It's something I have always felt mentally.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>The pressure it emits,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>scroll after scroll.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>A million tabs open.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>A million opinions given.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>A million updates.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Everyone has a take.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Everyone has proof.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Everyone is right.. in their own way.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>In the midst of the chaos,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>important information gets lost.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Quiet thoughts get scrolled past.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Real conversations get buried.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>And we're left exhausted..</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Not entirely from thinking,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>but from listening to everything at once.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>From comparing, reacting, keeping up.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>From mental tabs we forgot to close.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>I came here looking for connection.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>I left with a headache,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>and a bit of mental pressure.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>This isn't information anymore.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>It's mental clutter.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>And my mind is begging for rest.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Maybe wisdom isn't trending today..</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Would try another day.</strong></em></p>
