Overthink
If I could hit pause.
If I could hit replay.
Just for one more day, to not overthink or sink.
Just to converse and try not to curse.
To not be overly friendly or overly petty.
To not be overly stark or overly dark.
Maybe one day.

The Fence
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 wall
We help each other when there is a call
It isn’t

Overthink
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 voice inside my brain.
I'm sick of her talking,
because everywhere I

Overthink
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 looming failure,
but still, perhaps, the truth should be revealed
rather than

Overthink
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 shape and size
And tells a story
Of how they feel inside.
Their

Sometime Such a Blinded Eye
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 grew and grew
They make fake theory's claiming that they

Late Night Overthinking
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 racing, situation is escalating
Tears rolled, feelings uncontrolled
I was the glue...holding

Not To Overthink
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 time to relax and
Not to over-think.
Carefully pour the wine
Smooth fruity

Overthinking
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 myself that everything will be okay?
I’m waiting for you to

Don'T Overthink It
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 united
A world defiant
A world valiant
It's quite simple
Don't make it hard
Don't

Don't Overthink
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 I’ll be me

Speculating Yourself To Death
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 of water,
So she took it out,
But by the time she

Overthink Words That Are Said
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 of your head.
If you are be aware that most of

Don'T Overthink It
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 both sides of an issue
Inclinations can be easily supported
Of all
