Short Overthink Poems

I think
  therefore I am
Don't overthink that

I am
  therefore I exist
Whatever...

I LOVE
  thereby lighting up the world
Ah, now you're talking  

You are
  therefore I am
You're just too clever......

overthink; distinct direction
(misguide) time given
infection, inflamed &
mutant. why have
contempt for this
hummingbird heart,
lamented prior to
start? melt the
outside, the inside 
oozes out through
blankets of bruises,
looses mass; relax....

Be resilient is the mainstay
For trouble and strife can be a moment away
Don’t overthink or wonder too long
For strength in adversity is needed along
With you nose to the grindstone and not on the air 
Don’t be weighed down but show you care.

"Redirect negative thoughts through creativity."
                                               - by Poet

brain wired to overthink, worries crash down
can't shut up musing mind's eye
thoughts flow as poetry

Spin the wheel
    pick a need
  Ask for good health
    allay your greed

  Pick any number
    now open your eyes
  You've selected blue skies
    no lightning, no thunder

  Make a grand wish
    you only get one
  Don't overthink it
    let it be fun

  Another day
    at Pay-to-Pray
  You get your say ~
    chips fall where they may...

Copy and paste how could you say
My original thoughts written to you that day

I plead your love not to take 
copy and paste gave me heart ache

It’s all from my heart and not a copy
No need to overthink with your autopsy 
Copy and paste is what I would do
To bring you back to the me and you

My lasting thought is to be 
Copy and paste was all you could see...

Tears hang in my eyes
While I overthink myself
To death. Thinking of
All I've done wrong
And all the ways 
I should tell you
I'm in love with you.
My heart beats out of 
My chest when you
Come near. Can you
See my shaking hands
Or is it all in my head?
A permanent chill lightly 
Traces icy fingers down my 
Spine when I hear your 
Name.
I can't forget you....

you are not perfect, lov. you are actually nowhere near perfect. you overthink and you are very protective of me. we don’t always get along either. but, that’s okay, because you make me happy regardless. you have your flaws, and i love every single one, they make you who you are. so, no, you are not perfect, my love, you are perfectly imperfect and that’s what makes you perfect for me....

Wow!  You're laughing!'
   Why?  What's so funny?
Oh, I don't know.  Something is.
   I can't explain it.

Gosh!  You're crying!
   Why?  Why are you crying?
Oh, I don't know.  I'm sad.
   I can't explain it.

Whoa!  You're so happy!
   Why?  Why are you happy?
Oh, I don't know.  I just am.
   I can't explain it.

Some might say you're out of touch.
   I'd say not to overthink it too much....

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 more wondering how to play this straight 
I'll stare straight-faced, I won't hesitate 
See, why would I want to make you bastards wait   
Thank god I got this chance, now I can say  
"I'm gonna do what I WANT!"...

I wrote this shortly after I could define the word - so I was pretty young with vocabulary, but never too young to overthink things.

Sophistication

(Which I have on occasion described as a "complicated fake")

This rock was here when I was small,
I used to sit on it, my own little throne;
but now a shrub has grown and I have to
push it back to see my make-believe world -
funny what sophistication does ......

I am an ordinary person 
I also get outraged and do destruction
I am not a God
this is the reason
I do anything without a thought
I also feel jealous
and spell the words 
which are very near to callous
Yes I do overthink
as I want to understand
the consequence of everything
I do fall I do cry
but I never stop 
to work hard and try
I will never quit
and certainly write with the pen of my success
that I did it...

Simmering threads of Grace reflect through your life
Lingering thoughts protrude beyond the norm
The pain makes you overthink at times
This makes you believe you cannot gain in solitude
The lies reflect the cries of your misplaced purpose
So gather the dark threads of the pain in your life
And know that it is there to stretch your purpose!
There are other things in life that you need to do!

this thin line I walk
this mindset that talks
I can't block it out
this blackness and doubt

going forward each day
hoping it fades away
that I find what I seek
that it doesn't escape me

thoughts that are so random
overtaking with reckless abandon
trying not to overthink
ideas that are drenching me

but it sometimes overflows
this love with its, rich bright glow
can you make it right?
restoring what causes this blight...

Of men and plants


The endless growing of new leaves
of my indoor plants, shedding the excess 
all over the floor, as disregarded dreams
getting in the way of the day.

Female hyenas are good mothers teaching
their litter is how to scare off lions.


Restless minds are not sound as leaders
who overthink everything and have nervous breakdowns?
Sit shaking in the corner on the bridge of warships
excellent, dancers in the ballroom of peace....

Mental vibration
Ricochet off my patience.

Teasing 
weaknesses,
minimizing my
statements.

Confined 
to the meekness,
Isn’t weakness.
Just Falls under the lines 
of abatement.

Blatant humiliation 
burns hotter than 
the eyes of your Satan.
Im sayin 

not immune to the influence 
of my own delusions.

I make mistake,
Overthink,
often
jump conclusions

Alcohol driven hallucinations
Demand inclusion.
I’m not afraid,
I let them in. 
keeps the party groovin....

Disclaimer:
There are rip currents in these waters,
I am choppy and deep; 

Warning:
I am a contradiction 
There is no box built for me;
I stand out but enjoy not being seen;

Disclaimer:
I dive right into a wave,
and then  make a few more;

Warning:
I overthink and then can’t talk;
My mind  a chaotic formation, 
stoic worn like a mask;

Disclaimer:
I may leave it as is or add to it,
I haven’t decided yet; 
Like me, this is a work in progress,
just call it a hot mess....
