Overthinking (An Original Poem)

Overthinking

It is one of those nights
where you're just
sitting and thinking.

Thinking about everything.
About why is everything
the way it is.

Wondering about
whether the sun
would rise from another direction
if you stayed happy for just a day.

And that's when you
start to question yourself.
Question why
you are the way you are,
question your existence.

Compare yourself to everyone
and everything around you,
even though
you know that isn't right.

You think of every
old mistake you made.
You think of your past.
And you feel that
weird feeling in your throat
where you want to
start crying, but can't.

You think it might
ease the pain,
but it doesn't.
And slowly, eventually,
your mind takes over
all your senses.

It doesn't make you
feel better.
It tells you how
right you are
about everything.

And here's the saddest
part of it all.
You start to believe it.
Every bit of it.
