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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

Premium Member 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...

Premium Member 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...

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...
