overthought
now im overanalyzing again
playing out dumb scenarios
that would never happen in real life
thinking far too much about other people
people who dont think about me
it’s stupid wasting my energy on them
but i just cant stop
i just cant
now im filling my day
stuffing it full
so i dont have to think anymore
just so maybe someone will see me
but even i dont
i dont know how to be me
just because i tried that already
because it’s too much pressure
an obligation to reply
when i cant even feel safe with them
when i dont know if they do see me
and dont know if they ever would
