Overthinking

Did I talk too much?

Did I say too less?

Have I scared them away?

Or did I bore them to death?

Did I look too fake?

Or was I just too real?

They save, "It's not that big a deal",

But I wonder...

Did I break something before it even began to feel like

Something true; something nice?


Was I too loud?

Or was I too quiet?

Should I say that?

Or should I stay silent?

Should I do that,

Or will it look really weird?


Should I laugh,

Or are we being serious?

Am I supposed to cry,

Or are we in a funny situation?

God! I can't Keep track of their actions-

And my immediate, amateur reaction!


Someone just talked to me,

What should I say?

Is it cool to say, "Hello",

Or is that going to sound too old and shallow?


Why am I doing, What I am doing?

Can't I keep it chill, even

If all my actions are against my will?

Calm down, myself, and be cool;

Don't be yourself; Don't laugh; Don't cry; Don't drool;

Say something; Don't stall;

And don't overthink at all.
