Dedicated to the specific emotion of :

Overthinking anything and everything

You just bought yourself a ticket to overthinking city

Population one sadly or is it two? This is not looking pretty

Sometimes I end up taking a trip to my least favorite town

Where my mind is racing and I always end up feeling like a clown

I don’t want to go but for me the trip almost feels mandatory

Just the same feeling everyday with no change in my story

I’m often wondering why I don’t have the ability to read minds

But knowing me that would have me questioning more which reminds

Me why are they thinking that and why does it always make me feel

Like my mind is just a hamster constantly running on a wheel

As the speed of the wheel increases it looks like I’m tripping over my own feet

When I start to overthink my brain doesn’t miss a beat

It covers all the what ifs that are running through my head

The feeling of hurting my own feelings and though I dread

These moments of doubt and not knowing how things will go

I have to have some confidence in myself at least to know

That though sometimes it feels like everything will go wrong for me

I have to have a better attitude and think of some things with positivity

Not everyone’s mad at me 0r ignoring me in the way that I think

It’s just hard to acknowledge that sometimes and I start to shrink

I become so small with my thoughts surrounding me

And though I don’t fully have a way to solve this I think you’ll agree

We all have those days even though we try to wish them away

The town overthinking is a mess so you don’t have to stay

Minivan Thoughts

Sometimes I forget this is just the beginning-

Of my story that is

And who I will be

And what I will do

And where I will go

And when I will find

Where I’m going and in which direction-

I should travel to find

Who I am

Where I’ll be

What I will do

And how I will get there.

Full Circle

365 days give it time

Give yourself a chance

To experience something new

To meet new people

To get into the flow of a new routine

365 and you’ll start to feel the change

And nostalgically think about the past

It won’t hurt as much when you think

In these 365 days you’ve been changed

For the better

Terms and Conditions

There are unspoken rules

Of being a woman

These are the terms and conditions

Which you must follow

Or suffer consequences

For your actions

Of which you did nothing wrong

But people will try to make you feel

Like you did something wrong

You taunted you teased

You should have done this

You could have done that

And these are aspects of the

Terms and conditions

Which men do not have to follow

The rules in which

They are excused

Don’t walk alone

Talk to someone on the phone

One headphone in

Always stay within

The spaces in the light

This is a woman’s plight

Don’t wear anything too flashy

Don’t act trashy

These terms and conditions

Must be followed at all times

Unless you want to be followed

Chased assaulted or even worse

You must always carry your purse

With an alarm or mace

While walking in the dark at

Such a fast pace

If you walk too slow

They will know.
