Too much, too early

You have heard of "too little, too late."
How about "too much, too early?"
Overwhelmed senses can only take so much.
Too much? Too early?
Good is great, as long as it lasts,
Bad is good too, in the lessons it imparts.
But too much of either or or?
The beginning of the end is here, when it starts.
Or that's how it feels,
When life is on fast-forward button,
Hurtling down roller-coaster like tracks;
Only, it isn't anyone you know controlling the button.
If Yama or one of His avatars were a Friend,
Maybe there could be some leeway.
But Gods and mortals have a different kind of relation,
It's not so easy always, to find a way.

Desperation

Someone, anyone, anything at all.
To help me.
He raised his head.
You mean Me?
Yes, Even You.
Yes, yes, You, if not anyone else.
