Overthinking Poem by uhm.. yeah

Overthinking

Rating: 3.5


Overthinking is my enemy
It leads me to complete insanity
A self-pity made up of an inquisitive anatomy
What if...?
The two words that spiral me into a frenzy
A psychological tornado not even my friends see
My zoned out face says I'm out of it
But I'm too deep into it
My predicament suggests mental breakdown is imminent
Dead memories get brought back to mind
Checking if history repeated itself one last time
The answer is in my head, I know
I'm looking for it everywhere like Waldo
But I jump to crazy conclusions
Spurred by past lies and illusions
Then comes the true/false confusion
I think it's reality that I'm losing
Is this the real answer?
Or is it a trick card?
Anger spreads like cancer
Because it shouldn't be this hard
My brain is pleading in exasperation "Please stop reading into the situation! "
Except I can't.
I'm an addict of my thoughts
And I'll never go to rehabilitation
I'm a full time astronaut
And my head is a space station
Floating far from physical being
My mental makes me confront my feelings.
