My brain is mush

Once sharp, now fogged like a steamed window,
Thoughts drip down walls I used to climb quick.
Ideas wobble, words melt to goo.
Synapse sparks sputter and fade.
Deadlines laugh from corners.
I blink. I forget.
Coffee can’t help.
Please reboot—
System
fried.

    Some days my brain feels like mush as well. Not even coffee kick starts the synapses. So I have no choice but to reboot my whole entire system, do a much needed body and brain, update. Typically, this takes a day or two; depending on how bad the system failure is.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.
