Overthinking
She told me to go to bed. Briefly, it seems like nothing, But she isn’t a parental figure, and I am not six— So why is a bedtime in order? In my head, it tells me she’s bored of me, That my weird facts have run dry, And my personality has become an interest of the past. My heart tells me she’s...

THE TOMB OF MIRRORS
There’s this voice that echoes inside of me,in the pit of my soul He has long sharp nails, with which he tears down the walls of my heart,piece by piece Every time my foot steps on the grass, greener than the day before He pulls me down into the Earth And I am submerged into the sea Filled with...

A Black Hole
A dark void, my soul completely destroyed Everything wrong hit me, like an asteroid The wrongdoings I’ve done, the pain I've faced The tears I’ve shed, and the sick aftertaste I’m often misunderstood, called “Emo” and “sad” But they don’t see my thoughts, and they should be glad There’s more to see, but it’s a lot for me Everyone around me...

My overthinking
Do you ever lie in bed with the voices in your head Telling you their next plan Like a disease that doesn’t go away But this time it’s in your head When it’s quiet and your reminded Of your mistakes the ones that never truly go away Sometimes I feel as tho if I shout out...

I don't know
I don’t know I don’t know I keep thinking and thinking Thoughts revolting Emulsifying Into one With questions left to ponder on one With more than one answer But yet I can't find the key to them all Which one should it be The less aching one? I don't know Because wouldn't that be my answer to these questions? My comfort? My ease?...

The Unraveling Mind
Have you ever wondered what people are thinking about What’s playing on repeat in their head Their- World The place where they spend all their time Thinking a thousand thoughts per minute Ideas, School, work, worries, Family, thoughts, friends, overthinking, Thinking over and over and over again. All these things pile up rather fast Soon everything is too...

While the hours away
While the hours away.. To have this worry for so long, Then suddenly realise it has gone. I sit and while the hours away, Nothing to think and nothing to say. It’s strange how consumed Your mind can become Your feelings fester and overrun. Then before you know it It has disappeared, Your darkest thoughts Of what you feared. Are nothing but a distant memory now, You...

Overthinking
Why can’t I just be honest? Why is it so hard to tell you? I’m more terrified of rejection Then being left in the dark. Why am I having trouble To trust you and your intentions? Am I getting too paranoid Or should I trust my gut this time? Cause when I mess up with you I always keep blaming myself. Whenever I...

Knots of thought
Where to run? There's nowhere to go Where to hide? I can't go below I cry, I cry I sigh, I sigh The world's a mess As am I So when I'm stressed I look to the sky Why, oh, why was I put here? In this place, this family, this time, oh dear! My head spins with spools of thought All tangled up in terrible knots I...

Hop onboard the overthinker
Hop onboard overthinkers A warm Welcome aboard the overthinker to all our guests, Especially Mr insomnia, and Mrs overthinker, both frequent flyers and our VIP guests I'll be your minds captain for this flight, through awake all damn night, And then on to good mornings beaming bright resort in daylight, We have no nap-overs or drifting-offs scheduled...

Overthinking
A thought not yet realized Unearth, my cerebellum contorted in confusion A lack of comprehension The heart of iron melted at first hesitation Trembling with fear and burdened with disgust Feeling unworthy even though the asset has value Within a second, the idea evaporated into nothingness...

Beautiful Tension
I got tensed the other day Asked myself will there be heat in the may,  Some stupid question over the bay,  Tonight I learned that I may not be the one but always bright as day.  Tensing is not bad in the breaks,  It lets you flow like the water of the lake,  Make you more of you and less of...

POV: YOU'RE AN OVERTHINKER
Being the overthinker—how does that feel? After reading this piece , perhaps you will see a different side of me. Every little detail bothers me, overanalyzing situations in a myriad of ways, and starting a new chapter in my life always brings forth the worst thoughts in me. Surely, one should look on the bright side...
