SELFWRITTEN POEM - 'OVERTHINKING'

- Feels like I'm being flushed down

down my thoughts

thoughts - which are not suppose to be there

it feels like a bullet train of thoughts

is crushing me under

I'm crushed down - on the tracks

my thoughts bleed out of my injuries

looks like a river flowing out

with no end.

Slowly the river takes a lead

A lead to flood the place

it feels like an island submerged

under the deep ocean.

I'm drowning

feels like someone is pulling me

I'm losing control

my eyes are closing

only darkness is seen

my lungs feel crushed

and I'm dead asleep.
