Hiyas all, hope all is well..doing better today.
Here's the next two, we're nearing the end, with two more to go.
At this point, the character has been mentally unhinged, possibly something has gone wrong.
Enjoy...

"ESD"
Defeated by the pull of a new age- golden hope has turned into a let down of another every-day. Why did I bother with any of this? All for nothing-a life shattering revelation.
Damaged and systems failing.
Knocked off and arms flailing,
Help not around-
No one around!
Where am I going?
Gyrating view-it's spinning away.
The world I once hated has turned into my savior,
But nothing I can latch onto. I'm hooked into the omnicast and I'm everywhere with everything.
Here my individuality becomes watered down with countless other bit streams,
Here I am nothing more than another node to access,
More to surpass,
To crack, to read, to write-protect.
I am another piece of IT tech to neglect!
Damaged and systems failing.
Knocked off and arms flailing,
Help not around-
No one around!
Where am I going?
Gyrating around a vertex, arms outstretched-
[I'm looking for an entry point]L,
[I'm looking for a way in to get out]R
This is my death-this is my snapshot of perfection.
Get this out of me,
A poison to be sucked out-beat out-spat out-
I'm flailing about,
I can't get a hold and the exit is revolving around me.
My control has gone, the new god takes over.
My personality is being erased, burned from my core.
Burned from my core!
Damaged and systems failing.
Knocked off and arms flailing,
Help not around-
No one around!
Where am I going?
Damaged and systems failing.
Knocked off and arms flailing,
Help not around-
No one around!
Where have I gone?
Where in hell have I gone?!
Sucker for a new life,
Wanted a better deal.
Wanted it to become fantastic, and fast.
But now I understand it's too late.
Broadcasting for help-
Can they lock me out?
Can I escape this virtuality?
Can I---
[All music ends, silence plays a few seconds longer]

"Human v2.0 Alpha"
Standing, waiting to trip over and down the other side.
I view down into sanity's narrow chasm. I've been dragged up out of it.
Slowly falling down into a maddening black hole. I'm entombed in information beyond my assimilation capacity.
Raw center
It's become
A fascination
To be undone
I am high on neural feed. More, more, more. But it fades away and my memory bleeds. I'm attached and codependent, this is blanketing my past and ensuring my future.
Raw Center
It's become
A fascination
To be undone
I'm programmed. I recognize this, but do nothing to stop its progress. My feelings for it are irrelevant.
A raw center
I have become
A fascination
To be undone
