Overthinking
My mind is swimming
But I never learned to float
So my mind is drowning
It feels as tho I've jumped off the high dive
Sinking and sinking
Until bubbles float up no more
It's a suffocating feeling
I can't breathe
And no matter how much I struggle I can't reach the surface
Maybe it's cause I never learned how to swim
I was told it was an essential skill
But if I can't teach my body how do I teach my mind?
My own thoughts are the sea
My consciousness is me
Sinking instead of swimming
Waves crash against me
But instead of water it's words
Thoughts and ideas
Images I can't comprehend
That envelope me until I can't see the light
Drowning me in darkness
I can't see
Or breathe
Or feel
I can't swim in the waters of my own mind
As the tide keeps rising
My mind is swimming
But I never learned to float
So my mind is drowning
