Burnout (Down Goes Frazier)
The brain begins to short circuit
Synapses firing
Through a short circuit
Colors become muted
Output no longer computed
Lay
The whole day away
Another brain on layaway
Work
Please stay away
Psychological torture
Can’t ‘pay’ away
Mind manipulated
To illuminate
Use the night
To ruminate
Told to ‘just do’
Where’s the just due?
Low battery
Stay far from flattery
Searching for peace
More than salary
Peer groups
Enchanted by chattery
Even with power returned
No power to return
Not competitive
At a rat race
At that pace
Want to dive through
A black hole
Backpack space
Visit the expanse
All of a sudden
Imagination expands
No sound
No one around
Process of recalibrating
Expounds
Always
Everyone’s support system
Faulty wiring
Can no longer support system
Close the box
Housing styrofoam
Unknown destination
Mind separation
Headed to roam
