There’s too much light
No place left for shadows
I stand still
In a flood of words
Scrolling fingertips
Voices never stop
Like cold water
My awareness sinks
Before I can choose
I’m already swallowed
Even the space to breathe
Slips out of sight
The winter with a name is standing here
A named cold
Brushing my shoulder
At the bottom of the data storm
I disappear
No matter how far we upgrade
Loneliness keeps the same shape
Speed feels like justice
The city runs out of breath
Trying not to fall behind
My heart lags quietly
Frozen words
Pass straight through my skin
I can’t tell anymore
What’s real
They keep saying
Be stronger
But in a frozen night
There’s no answer
The winter with a name is calling me
Cold air
Tightens my thoughts
No matter how much
The world updates
The weight of anxiety
Never really changes
I’m not trying to escape
I just wanted
To stop everything
For a moment
The winter with a name feels close
My heartbeat sinking
In an ocean of light
In a place no one sees
I’m still standing
As a human
Too much light, too many signs
Cold data drowning my mind
No past, no future to hold
Just this winter
Sharp and cold
The winter with a name is standing here
A named cold
Brushing my shoulder
At the bottom of the data storm
I disappear
No matter how far we upgrade
Loneliness keeps the same shape
In the frozen air
I stand still
If I call its name
I’m still here
