Deeper Meanings and Heavier Things

A Poem

Why do things need a deeper meaning?
The grass doesn't.
Why does it feel like I need one?
I'm no better.
Over-thinking.
Our greatest achievement yet our greatest
Downfall.

My inspiration:

I’m supposed to be doing a free write. I seriously am drawing a blank as to what I am supposed to say. I am writing words that come to my mind. I am pressing my keys to the board in a frantic search of words that need to have some sort of deeper meaning. Why do things need a deeper meaning? Its not like I’m shallow I just can’t think of anything to say during this time of timed writing and forced creativity. I don’t mean to sound narcissistic saying I’m not shallow, I probably am more so than I would like to think about. Over-thinking is humanity’s crowning achievement but yet our greatest downfall? I’m just trying to live life without the deeper questions inside holding me back from living it. Living is not thinking, its doing. Do great philosophers really live if all they’re doing is thinking about what one should do? I suppose I’m doing the same thing. Yet I don’t want to be I just want to follow instructions and get a good grade in my class. Why should I care about it though? I should take my future as it comes to me and be happy and live while I can before something happens. It could end right now while I’m typing this stupid paragraph about my stupid thoughts. I don’t think I’ll mind very much. Done having to write now.
