Overthinking
I wish I didn’t do it
I wish it would stop
All of these little things
Intruding my thoughts
All the small things
That are nothing
Become big things
That are everything.
I get caught up in my head
Rethinking everything I said.
I wish I didn’t say this
I Wish I had said that.
Analyzing everything that was said.
Looking too far into things
I know I shouldn’t.
I can’t help it. I'm sorry.
Just gotta love my Overthinking.
Why do I keep getting myself
Into this mess
Feels like i'm just pushing too far,
putting my limits to the test.
My hands are shaking
My breath is labored
My stomach is twisted
I want it all to end
To just stop
Make the pain stop.
Just stop.
