Overthink Words That Are Said
Do you ever doubt what other folks say,
Do you mistrust their intent?
Do you walk around reworking their words,
Living a mental torment?
Overthinking short bursts of simple remarks,
Overthinking the words that were said,
Overthinking those comments filling all of your mind,
Comments filling up all of your head.
If you are be aware that most of what’s said,
It’s forgotten, blown away to the sky,
Blown away and never considered again,
It’s just you that’s left thinking why.
Why did they? When did they? Where did they go?
Who is it they think they have seen?
Leaving you confused with thoughts of your own:
“I wish they’d just say what they mean.”
