Best Overthink Poems

Go with the flow
Where zephyrs blow
Parallel the weather
Light as a feather
Set it adrift 
Life is a gift
Open your heart
Play up the part
Let your mind soar
Your passions roar
Wonder if you have a hit
Stop don’t overthink it
You risk paralysis
With excess analysis
Set your dreams free
You be you and...

Each of us live for the moment
As none are promised time
Not knowing which is our last
We make choices with that in mind

In life we bathe in beauty
Often to drown in sorrow
Paying the price with our tears
From troubles earned and borrowed

Immensely exaggerated caricatures
Overthought problems become distorted
Examining...

Often I overthink
And my thinking goes askew
I feel myself sinking
And overthink anew

I question every aspect,
Of every written word
I try to find the meaning
Of complicated words.

I am in awe of others that write,
Their pens flow with ease
And their spelling is always right

Their pen paints pictures.
Of every...

The light evening meal
Served under moon and stars,
Flickering candlelights whilst
Writing our memoirs.

Classical music; 
Beauty to my ears,
Gazing up to Venus, Mars,
Thinking biospheres. 

Accidentally tapping me 
Underneath the table, 
Glimpsing in my eyes
Like you’re ready and you’re able.

The buzzer sounding beeping
We both place down our ink,
A...

There's a voice inside my head;
I've tried to shut her,
over and over again.

She speaks my language,
but I don't want to understand
her painful words that make me feel just average.

She says she knows what's best for me
but she's nothing more than a liar,
because she's just a...

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...

Zero Tolerance   
For all your half-assed plans 
From now on I do what I want 
I will go off what I feel is right   
I have no time for analyzing 
I need to FEEL now 
I need to LIVE now 
No...

It's quite simple
Don't make it complicated
Don't make it complex
Don't make it compromising
Let the words fall
Gracefully
Gradually
Graciously
Illustrate a heart with love
In an echo chamber of laughter
Holding hands can be poetry
If only we rhyme together
If only we stanza together
If only we couplet together
A world of couplets
Is a world...

What curious charge to press 'pon lover -
that he "overthinks" - therein his mistake.
When he feels fire difficult to cover,
while innocent passions keep him awake.

The only p'wr prompting hesitation
is perception -correct- that you don't feel.
Thus tortuous math, sour consternation:
Duty to realism or the ideal?

Intuition suggests...

thoughts turn
jumbled threads
the scissors snaps
the thorns and thistles sheared

Late night overthinking
Heart racing, made up situation anticipating
Feelings chasing, dread encasing
I return, rewind to the start, replaying the awful part.
When they said that, what did they actually mean?
Conversation misconstrued, I probably came across really rude!
Going through that scenario
Searching for a way to let it go
Heart...

Though we live in "high society"
You may not see real things in your blinded sobriety;
Subliminal messages are all around us
Out of the box thinkers are ones who found us.
Life should be all about morals an beloved things that are true; 
The blindfold around our minds...

She speculated in the morning that the dump truck might not come.
But it did.
So she worried that it might fall apart in front of her driveway, blocking her in,
But it did not.
She then speculated that the garbage man might ask her for a cool drink...

Here I am lying on bed, overthinking
Listening to sad music, hearing all the lyrics
Choosing which one explains better what I feel
I’m replaying what happened on that day

Why can’t you say the magic word?
Is there a reason why you can’t say it?
Have I been lying to...

The sun is high
More joy is nigh
I cannot lie
Why should I sigh
But the neighbor’s fence

We are friends
We see each other’s ends
We have the same trends
We each help when the other bends
Why is there a fence

We will throw each other the ball
So why is there a...
