Overthinking

OVERTHINKING.... 

Overthinking is my enemy
I always let it get the best of me
WHY cant I just let things be?

Constant state of insanity
Is it me or does anyone else see?
The words that drive me into a frenzy..

What to do?  What to do?
Take a breath what's got a hold of You?
OMG who am I talking to?

Everyone will think I'm missing a screw!
I think I'm going out of my mind
I came this way its how I was designed

Why isn't the simple answer easier to find?
WHY do I continually  rewind?
Why are my thoughts so unkind?

I know life is not always black & white
Reality & rationality  constantly fight
Doesn't matter if it's morning noon or night

I'm wracked with confusion
Is what I see real or an illusion?
People must think I am nuts or I'm using!

At times jump to my own conclusion
My tired weary mind needs a break!
HOW does one facilitate?

My hands start to shake
Isn't peacefulness give & take?
Gotta learn how to chill for CHRIST'S sake! 

This overthinking got me feeling kinda ill
Don't think there's a magic pill
If someone asked me to try it I most certainly will

I should just try and go with the flow
Relax calm down take it slow
It's hurting my spirit

Don't enjoy it.. fear it
Somehow I'm always near it
It's zapping  my energy

Robbing the very best of me
The person I was meant to be
Overthinking always been my tendency

Don't think with it to great I'm dealing
Got to try  & move past it
CUZ my life it's really stealing

Better find a way end thoughts reeling
But only I can make the conscious decision
To  make a change & start  my own healing
