Held Hostage By the Mind

December 13, 2017

I overthink

Everything.

(Was it effective to 

Break that line there?)

Every little minute detail

Can never leave me 

Until I've thoroughly analyzed it. 

Then, it only comes back 

Later to haunt me. 

(Was that effective too?)

(The first parentheses was two lines, 

But the previous one was one. 

Consistency?) 

I can't stop thinking about 

Everything. 
I panic, I fret, I worry,

I shake, yell, run,

Jump, kick. 

(Four I's?)

I cannot stop thinking about everything. 

No matter how much people 

Try to help me, 

I always come back to something, 
Or everything, 

And they leave me. 

They always do. 

 

Sometimes, don't you just 

Wish

You Had a Different 

Brain? 

One that your 
Happiness 

Wasn't a hostage of?
