Overthinking

I overthink,
It's a regular process,
I overthink,
Is it more than just a regular process?
I overthink,
That it is common,
I overthink,
Too much for myself.
I overthink,
I can barely help,
The wounds on my hands,
prove me wrong.
I overthink,
yet this is not mirage,
This is reality,
So this is not thought.
This is not overthinking,
this is true,
It's not me who is overthinking,
It's you.
It's a regular process,
I overthink,
Is it more than just a regular process?
I overthink,
That it is common,
I overthink,
Too much for myself.
I overthink,
I can barely help,
The wounds on my hands,
prove me wrong.
I overthink,
yet this is not mirage,
This is reality,
So this is not thought.
This is not overthinking,
this is true,
It's not me who is overthinking,
It's you.

What does it mean - to overthink?
Is there even such a thing
To think too much?
What is to think less?
Thinking is just thoughts where one can never count them.
Harmful or helpful, the two hands of any ticking clock.

When people believe overthinking is debilitating, I say it's normal :)

Don't Overthink it!

I have a lot on my mind
but thinking about it
is a waste of time.
Ever since I've been lost inside
I'm trying so hard to be alright.
Did I....make a mistake by running away
from the thought of yesterday?
I never wanted to remember
all I ever wanted was to be okay.
Oh, what's the benefit
what's the point of it?
There's no need to mutter
I need to get better!
I just can't hold onto this
so I don't overthink it
I should **** it up and quit.

I have had this problem many times before, but it's better to write a poem about it.
Let me know what you think.
