Overthinker

It's about my experience as a person who overthinks too much

Don't lie to an overthinker

You don't know how it kills

To lay in bed at night

And think about those things

I thought you told the truth

But things just don't add up

And what am I to do

When this is so messed up

I lay here till the sunrise

I went to bed at nine

It's been like seven hours

And you're still on my mind

I overthink these things

I know that it's not good

But I am not the one who made

Those thoughts become my truth

So do not lie to an overthinker

You won't help them survive

Truth hurts and that's a fact

But lies will only lead to die

Yeah, I call it being "an obsessive", being forced to relive social interactions a thousand times whether good or bad. With a million other things to concern myself with constantly on top of that. Staying up to the wee hours to write a poem that I'm never going to publish. I can identify with this piece.
