Overwhelm is a chaos that shatters the spirit and drags the tears from your eyes
Overwhelm is a crashing, breaking, smashing, destructive feeling
An emotion dogpile, mental paths running, sprinting, stumbling, falling down
Woven, twisted, confused
Overwhelm is a breathlessness punch to the mental state
Overwhelm is a reduction of human sense
Overwhelm is a spiked trap set for the vulnerable self who’s unable to pull free
