The Overthinker's Mastery

I said a lot to myself 
Without spitting any words.
I created the world where 
Talking is a waist 
But thinking is a curse.

No body heard me talking 
But I said a lot to myself. 
I traveled over mountains 
Even the skies were beneath my fit
But soul and flesh was there with 
Everyone. 

I've seen a lot and I kept talking
But no one heard me, until I was quite.
I felt craziness in me
But I realized that I'm not
Alone in this curse.

Most people failed on this subject 
And end up in a ward with high walls
but I've mastered the art of soul 
Searching.
Continued with the conversation 
In my mind.
Laughing is norm
And silent cries filled with hope.
Questions asked but 
Answers are minimal. 
All I can do is to overcome
Overthinking be normal 
Like everyone and every body else. 

Overthinking is a curse...
