Checking In

Am I in a panic?
Or just overwhelmed?
Perhaps I'm manic?
Numbing noise with sound?

Why is 'overwhelm' bad?
Because it's when you're sad?
But it can also be joy
Excitement for a favorite toy!

Why would I need to be numb?
Why would letting be
...be dumb?!

Am I in a panic?
Or just overwhelmed?!

Perhaps I not worry
...and enjoy some revelry.
