Analysis of Overthoughts



From a distance
We can all see that we different
Listen
Even though we all are a blessing
Stop cursing, comparing and flexing
Because it all starts with the thoughts
The over thoughts of overthinking
Which leads to no more blinking
As I feel like I'm sinking
No more judging
(Laugh) no more judging
Some us of are lying
As we soak in our beds filled with cryings
Give me time, I am trying
I am trying
No one is perfect
No one should be treated like a reject
A select, a project,or a negative impact
thoughts my thoughts attack
(Inhale and exhale)
Hunting for something I've been needing
Pleading
Planting my seeds in
Couldn't stop breathing
Shouldn't i have spend my time living
Bleeding
I think my heart is bleeding
Sleeping
I've spend most of my time sleeping
Hiding from thoughts that have been eating
Learnt to stop weeping
They've all had a meeting
But my smile, (sigh) they weren't greeting
Anxiety and depression sweeped in
Tried giving up as my heart was beating
But there was just a feeling
That feeling where that one smile kicked in
Filled with the presence of a sweet thing
