OVERTHINKING, A Poem by Anu

My mind is an on and off switch,

only thinks about certain things until it's starts to glitch.

Control of my thoughts is what I lack the most,

trying to understand if I will ever come close.

Negatives do nothing but cloud my judgement 

and portray's the journey to happiness as a box of solidarity confinement. 

There isn't much to think about when life's a bunch of gray space,

and all my mind does is chase, chase, and chase. 

Will I find happiness is a constant question,

searching for answers is my only obsession.

Looking at my past brings me much ease,

but remembering the reason I am no longer there causes me to freeze.

What is out of my hands is not my priority,

but that doesn't stop my mind from thinking it has some type of authority.
