#overthinking poems on Hello Poetry

Brumous Oct 2021

I need a breather,
for I have set a timer,
in each fraction of my life

I've never tried running a marathon but,
I have always felt that I'm running out of time.

Every beat feels like ticking,
I'm afraid that soon it'll stop.

Between the lines

I can read the lines between your eyes
Every emotional hand-me-down

...Relax...

Uncrinkle the nose, the mouth and forehead...

Throw away those thoughts instead.

Funny

Overthinking
Isn’t that what we all do?
Pretending
We’re okay but we don’t think so

Minds getting hazy
A little bit crazy
Should we ask maybes
Or should we just stop talking?

Funny
I’ve been having a lot of arguments
In my head
I don’t know whose currently winning

It’s lame
A big joke that we make
We act we’re okay
But inside our soul is dead

How?
Do we really heal or do we conceal?
Does time really heal or we get better at faking?
Are we really here or were just asleep dreaming?

SHOUT

With all things
the mind displays life
in capital letters.

But in almost every instance,
life does not
shout.

Overthinking.

Poetry From The Unknown Aug 2021

HaPpY?

Can anyone define the word happy?
like, is anyone actually happy?
or is it just an emotion our brain makes up,
so we don't have to go through the pain which
is called life?

Just an over thinker

he/she

he waltz in the room
she waited for him
she was a harlot;
he was her redemption.

Other lives

Ach, my amygdala
agglomerates ridiculousness,
a ****** laden froth
of other possibilities and lives
and loves, loves
and mitigated losses
to address the hurt
