Overthink

There's a voice inside my head; I've tried to shut her, over and over again. She speaks my language, but I don't want to understand her painful words that make me feel just average. She says she knows what's best for me but she's nothing more than a liar, because she's just a voice inside my brain. I'm sick of her talking, because everywhere I go, she keeps on her painful talking. Maybe I should ignore her, because this is hurting hard inside my chest: but how will I do this, if she's inside myself? I feel her under my skin, she's now a part of me; I whish it didn't exist. She judges my moves, my decisions and my ideas, even my own damn words. Now I've talked with her, she has spoken with me, she has confessed. Her, ladies and gentlemen, is what they call: to overthink.

I enjoyed Overthink. How many realize, much less admit, they overthink. But what Kim said I believe is what is key - “learn to be me”. Keep up the excellent writing.

Hi Richard. You're right, people don't normally admit to have that inner voice inside their heads, but actually, almost everyone overthinks nowadays. Thanks for reading my poem!

I had that “average” girl in my head when I was in high school. Not the one who needed help nor the standout, but over time I gained confidence, learned to be me. I tend to overthink too, but work on it. Enjoy PS!
