Oh, please change nothing!

"Terse" was intended to be a compliment:

Succinct or elegant might have carried the positive message better.

"Terse" seemed to go with the blunt, take-it-or-leave messages the system was giving you.

It reminded me of several recent attempts to deal with a government website,

and the panic as it shut me out;

Time and again!!!!

Until I could contact a nice, actual, person

Who offered me a restart.

Your poetry speaks!

Reza Wilde

You're right, I cannot deny you that. Constructively, do you believe I should expand upon it as I did with my summary, or simply delete an unnecessary page?

"A Poem"

A terse description of surviving the yes/no absolute world as one with greys and tones.

    How can I think so clearly when there's so much noise?

    Do not turn off or unplug your system.

    I can still hear you.

    Please close all other programs to maximize efficiency.

    I can still see you.

    Would you like to restart now?


    There, now. Things got clear again.

    Nothing feels so unbearable anymore.

    I'm alright.

Additional Poems

Following are a few of my poems which I feel have a very heavy emotional link to, and fit well with System Scan as a whole. These will cover similar themes of anxiety, depression, panic disorder, disassociation, OCD, and probably a few underlying mental health diagnoses as experienced through my travels in life. Each of these is very personal to me, and is not expected to register the same with another. These are my experiences, and they don't always make sense, even to me.
