" PEACE. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."- unknown


I think I overthink
Everything I think about.
I think so hard
I might say it aloud
Then everyone will know...
What I've been thinking, so...
Then I know it won't be
As dreaded as it seemed
On my head,
as I sleep
With no worries,
And sweet dreams

It's about a secret that I sometimes find slipping out of my mouth and how I wonder what would happen if everyone knew

This was pretty good! I think it's very cute and I understand where you're coming from haha:) It's just that the way it was worded was a hair awkward, so it didn't really flow like a poem should. I would also add something between the third and fourth lines. I don't know what, but it'd be something. Keep writing!
