Overthinking. I'm dwelling on things that need not more than five – no, two seconds. Dismissed. Spinning, looping Repeating. So unnecessarily lingering. My mind is a bubble, with a delicate membrane between my world and sanity, that houses liquid danger Evaporated and pressing outward against the walls I constructed to keep others out, and that instead poison me with the toxic gas of these Thoughts.
