OVERTHINKING
I SOMETIMES OVERTHINK THINGS
MY BRAIN GETS LOST IN A VIRTUAL PLANE OF CIRCUMSPECTION
WEILDING A JACKHAMMER OF CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
MAINTAINING A STEADY STREAM OF WITTICISM TO COVER MY FLAWS
APOLOGISING FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS I MAY OR MAY NOT CAUSE
PAUSINGTO ANALYZE EVERY POSSIBLE VARIABLE IN ADVANCE
BASKING IN THE GLOW OF PAST BURSTS OF BRILLIANCE
WHILE WALLOWING IN DARK VISIONS OF DEFEAT
REPEATING EVERY ABUSE I SUFFERED IN MY YOUTH
LOOKING FOR TRUTH AND BELIEF IN SOMETHING GREATER
IMPATIENT FOR NOW TO BE THE BETTER LATER
MY MIND PAINTS PRETTY PICTURES ON THE INSIDE OF MY EYES
TO HIDE WHAT IT DOSEN’T WANT ME TO SEE
MAKING INTERNAL IMAGES LARGER THAN LIFE
DISSECTING THE WORLD WITH A SHARP JUDGING KNIFE
CREATING IMMUTABLE INDISPUTABLE DIVISIONS
PAVING THE ROAD TO THE FUTURE IN PRECONCEPTIONS
DRAWING STRAIGHT LINES OVER ORGANIC CIRCUMSTANCE AND
CONSIDERING IT AN ACT OF CORRECTION
MY BRAIN KEEPS LABELLING CATEGORIZING JUSTIFYING
MAKING PROBLEMS THEN “FIXING” THEM
CHATTERING ENDLESSLY
TO PROVE ITSELF PRODUCTIVE
ALWAYS INSTRUCTIVE OBSESSED
WITH THE IMMEDIACY OF POTENTIAL PLEASURE
CONSTANTLY MEASURING ITS SIZE
TO THE SIZE OF OTHER MINDS
BLIND
FRUSTRATED WITH MY BODYS’ INHERENT FAILINGS
RAILING AGAINST CRUEL FATE BERATING IT SOUNDLY
PROFOUNDLY ALONE IN ITS
PRISON OF BONE
UNABLE TO
CONNECT DIRECT
YET
IT STILL BELIEVES ITSELF TO BE
THE ONLY BRIDGE BETWEEN
ME AND HUMANITY
ROOT OF MY SANITY ORACLE
SOLE METHOD OF AWARENESS COMMUNICATION
HUMAN INTERPERETATION AND LIFE NAVIGATION
OVERBURDENED WITH RESPONSIBILITY
DREAMING OF TRANQUILITY
IT DOSEN’T EVEN WANT THE JOB
PERFERRING TO BE A BIT OF A SLOB
MORE BUILT TO DREAM THAN BE BURIED IN CHORE
IT DOSEN’T WANT TO RUN THE WHOLE STORE
I GOTTA CALM MY THINKATRON
AND NOT WASTE ENERGY BY CONSTANTLY LEAVING IT ON
KEEP MY BRAIN IN REPOSE ‘TILL IT KNOWS IT’S REALLY NEEDED
RELAX MAKE SURE MY MUSCLES AND EMOTIONS ARE FULLY HEEDED
REMEMBER MY PERCEPTIONS ARE MOVIES
INSIDE AN EMOTIONAL MASS OF MEAT
SHUCK THE HUSK OF MY MIND RIND
AND FIND THE INSIDE SWEET
TAKE A LOAD OFF MY MIND
AND IN THE SILENCE REJOICE
MEDITATE
AND LISTEN TO MY BODY’S
BEAUTIFUL VOICE
