"Think of something that you know to be true. There are no wrong answers and only one rule, Do not overthink this." My mind is racing, What do I know to be true. The grass is green, And the sky is blue. I know these to be true, but these can't be worth writing down. Love hurts, Stress kills. People are mean, My mind won't sit still. I know these to be true, but these are too intense to write down. We need to dream big, but start small. Appreciate everything, regret nothing at all. I know these to be true, but these are too cliche to write down. So what is something I know to be true? I overthink, quiet literally everything.

Overthinking
"Think of something that you know to be true. There are no wrong answers and only one rule, Do not overthink this." My mind is racing, What do I know to be true. The grass is green, And the sky is blue. I know these to be true, but these can't be worth writing down. Love hurts, Stress kills. People are mean, My mind won't sit still. I know these to be true, but these are too intense to write down. We need to dream big, but start small. Appreciate everything, regret nothing at all. I know these to be true, but these are too cliche to write down. So what is something I know to be true? I overthink, quiet literally everything.
In my english class we were told to write down something that we knew to be true, and then expand it into a poem. This is what I came up with.
