untitled
they say don’t take things personally
if only it were that easy
if only i didn’t sit up late overanalyzing every
interaction from the day before
if only my thoughts didn’t ruminate over your
body language
if only there was a way to let go of this cinder
block of insecurity tied to my ankles
i am drowning in the things about myself
i cannot change, though desperately wish i could

Love the pacing and imagery of this. Overthinking is one hell of a burden
Great commentary on a common experience, as I have definitely had nights like this too.
…cinder block of insecurity tied to ankle—clever way to describe this feeling—we have all experienced, sometimes we untie it, but it returns again and again trying to pull us down.
