What it’s like to overthink for those who don’t

January 14, 2022

It's like swimming through the darkest

water and never coming up for air

Like running as fast as you 

can without taking a breath 

even when you sleep 

you never really stop

the wheels in your head keep

turning 

and turning

And turning

Pounding together to find a

solution that doesn’t exist

The pressure is 

Building

And building 

And building 

The force is blinding

It is self doubt

And second guessing

High expectations 

And perfectionism

Did I make the right decision?

Is this the best I can do?

It’s a vicious never ending cycle

Will it ever stop?
