think

What a curse it is that I think, 
Let my thoughts drown me, 
Till it wraps around my throat,
Till darkness is all I can see.

I try to stay occupied, 
Not to be lone.
The thought of being alone with myself scares me.

The more you think, the worse it gets.
The more you know, the more you ache. 
Or maybe my soul is just too pessimistic 
Maybe my darkness is fake?

I drove myself to the darkness..

Hello Mika, only managing to read your poem now. Agreed ! Overthinking can cause depression. The trick is to balance mind with heart so that the Heart rules, not the mind. Your question : « Maybe my darkness is fake? » definitely not : Both Darkness & Light is integral to all of Life. Be blessed 2026., sending Light to you & Pakistan from South Africa., Ghairo
