Spleenitude

When plenitude per se 
Becomes spleenitude 
Too many messages 
From perfect strangers 
Dumping their angst
Filling my inbox
With their frenzied claims to my time
In less than a month I went
From few but well known friends
To too many unknown acquaintances
So called Web friends 
It was soul destroying 
For my poor distracted mind
To be continuously invaded
By their polite and respectful 
Incessant demands
I needed my mental space
I could no longer focus
I had to delete the app.
Of course I already miss
Their unstinted support
But what a freedom
It is to find again 
One's untainted voice.
