Lock In

update day.

officers offline.

me and one — again.

“Lexi?”

(input detected)

yeah.

I’m here.

(lock…)

stats need updating,

apps need checking,

recruiting, sorting,

moving people between clans.

(scroll… scroll…)

one says he’s bored,

one says he’s busy —

meanwhile I’m doing

everything that actually matters.

(background hum)

numbers wrong,

lists half done,

thinking three steps ahead

while fixing step one.

(calculate…)

I don’t stop,

I don’t pause,

I just keep going

’cause someone has to.

(steady…)

I don’t need excuses,

I need effort.

(confirmed)

If you’re not grinding,

you’re in the way.

(blocked)

I need to lock in,

get my head straight.

(focus…)

Too many voices,

not enough weight.

(mute…)

Ping ping ping —

everyone needs me,

everyone’s lost,

looking straight at me.

(signal spike)

I don’t panic,

I don’t fold —

(nope)

I lock in

and take control.

(locked)

one officer finally shows up,

actually helps —

thank god.

(sync)

I demote the one

who never pulls through,

no drama,

just facts and truth.

(status changed)

then the battle drops —

worst timing ever.

messages everywhere,

no one knows what to do.

(overload warning)

“Lexi help”

“Lexi where do I go”

“Lexi what now”

over and over.

(echo loop)

my brain’s fried,

head’s full,

hair pulled back,

jaw tight.

(breath in)

I don’t snap —

I focus.

(snap cancelled)

facts first.

(data)

noise off.

(mute)

feelings later.

(later)

leader on.

(online)

I need to lock in,

block it all out.

(tunnel)

I don’t need volume,

I need clear routes.

(path set)

Ping ping ping —

yeah I hear it all,

but I won’t drown

’cause I hold the wall.

(stabilise)

I don’t freeze,

I don’t break —

(steady)

I lock in

and stabilise the place.

(systems green)

I don’t lead for fun,

I lead ’cause I can.

(earned)

I see the whole picture

while you’re stuck in the spam.

(zoom out)

If you’re here,

work with me.

(sync up)

If you’re not grinding,

don’t lean on me.

(access denied)

I lock in

when it gets loud.

(compression)

I lock in

when no one else knows how.

(override)

Everyone panics,

I narrow it down.

(filter)

One decision,

solid ground.

(locked)

Queen Beexi —

not bossy,

just clear.

(clarity)

When things fall apart,

I’m still here.

(online)

battle steady.

stats clean.

messages slow.

(signal calm)

I exhale.

(breath out)

okay.

next thing.

(queue updated)
