Over-Thinker
I’m sitting in my bed when my head starts to think
Heavy thoughts start to trickle in my brain
The little trickle starts to pour
The droplets that fill my head start to swarm
They sting and sting making bright red clouds
The rushing river shows no mercy
Rocks are falling hard on my chest
With every breath I take the harder and harder it gets
If I ever try to get up I slip on the ice
I slip and fall hard and I can't do anything about it
Making me feel lost in the woods with the trees blocking every path of escape
Making me feel like i've been lured into a cavern that has no way out
Making me feel like i'm being forced to climb an unclimbable mountain
My tears form puddles and seem so small but over time they grow
They grow into raging rivers
They grow into soaring seas
They grow into monstrous oceans that just won't leave me be
Making me push everyone away
Having me start over
Because I blame me and am naive to the pattern
The pattern i've seen since I was 6
That no ones ever stayed
I always think ill find someone
I always wait for someone to pull me out of my storm
And that person always creates a new one
Making me get lost in the woods
Making me realize i'm stuck in a cavern
Making me fall off the top of a mountain
And making me drown in the ocean of my tears
