Overthinking.

How do I navigate this
Which way gets me through
What if I fall, will it hurt?
What am I meant to do.
So many thoughts and calculations
My whole head screams in pain
Hunny please know your worth,
You’re a bird, not a plane.
I’m scared of myself
I’m on high alert
Jealous of my friends
Because their brains don’t hurt
They aren’t constantly confused
Their worlds aren’t upside down
Why me, why now, I didn’t ask for this
I feel I might drown.
Predicting the future
Analysing the past,
So much scares her,
Self doubt invades her,
Nerves hitting hard and fast.
She’s angry now.
The things she can’t explain.
She forgets birds don’t need a reason
Just fly, you aren’t a plane.
How do I be bigger and better
How do I stay strong
When my confidence is so low
How should I know right from wrong
Let the pity party commence
it begins in my bed
Where comparison can’t find me
Where I feel safe in my head
How did I end up like this
I just feel so drained
How do I react, and respond
Hunny stop it, you aren’t a plane.
You’re a bird just fly.
You’ll find a way.
Trust yourself
Stay calm,
You’ve got this
It will all be ok.
