Overthinking Things.

by Courageous Dreamer   Aug 10, 2008


`Actual Title: Overthinking Things Only Makes the Heart Ache More.

*Note: These are just some thoughts I put together while I was going through a state where I was overthinking things more than they needed to be thought about.

Thinking about things more than what is necessary,
makes the heart ache like walking on pins and needles.
Getting upset about yearning to be with someone,
and knowing they'll never feel the same, makes it worse.

The simplest things that can never be changed in life-
will only make one try harder and lead to a deeper ache within.
Thoughts will eat away at the brain like acid burning flesh and bones.

It's an unhealthy way of releasing feelings throughout the body,
which leads to feelings becoming stronger than they need to be.
The more one overthinks, the more they will shed unwanted tears,
and their heart will ache more than what it's capable of controlling.

    I really like your style in writing poems. Your poems really amazes me. Anyway I like the lesson/meaning behind this poem. Most people know this because they have felt it before (They overthink things that are not important)

    Your two poems really inspired me. 'I will not look back' and this poem. The theme of this poem and that poem is really inspiring - (moving on, in life.)

    P.S. Thanks for inspiring me. I enjoyed your poems.
    Please keep writing :) I look forward to reading more from you.

    This was a really good piece. I feel as though this is more prose than poetry, however. Everything you've written is completely true. The more you think about something, the more it will bother or upset you.

    "Thoughts will eat away at the brain like acid burning flesh and bones."

    -- WOW! That one line is.. mindblowing. I love it.

    Five out of five.
