Overtly Overthinking

Exhaustedly engaged in a losing battle
Relentlessly rowing with a broken paddle

Constantly convincing the judge in my mind 
Passionately pleading for the flaws I find

Dreadfully driven to explain my side as true
Willfully wanting to show my point of view 

Quite quickly I'd free, if only I could,
this thralling need to be understood

Hi Ximena. This is a very well written couplet. The simplicity of your words amplify the complexity of your thoughts. I like this poem very much. ZIM
