Please Just Please Others (not)


Overthinking, deep breathing, careful focus

I over analyze 

my every move is carefully reviewed 

by the thoughts in my head

was there something wrong with what i said?

could i have fixed their mood?

was i rude? 

pleasing everyone... 

it's a joke,

a hoax,  a lie

be you!

but what can i do to make you happy first?

prove my worth?

what can i say to make everything okay?

not too much but not too little

don’t let the emotion through

keep it inside of you

bury it deep

don’t let it seep

and remain happy
