Overthink

It's just me, me, me

A window showing nothing but a husk

Why do you overthink when you know it'll end up terrible.

Why...

you do it because you don't know what to do.

You do it because it's all you've been told to do.

That's why...

That's why you don't talk.

That's why you're so quiet.

Because you know...

you know if you talk...

something will happen..

You didn't mean it.

You didn't want to do it.

You didn't know what to do.

You..

I didn't mean it...

I didn't want to do it...

I didn't know.

What do I do..?

I'm just trying...

trying and trying,

but nothing seems to work.

I don't wanna disappoint..

I don't wanna make anyone mad...

but.. I don't know.

But hey, maybe it's just me...

it's usually me..

Why do I overthink.

Because it takes away what I hope will really happen in the real world.

That's why

sad poetry
