overanalyzing...
I know I'm
overanalyzing...
but yet I continue
to rock back and forth,
contemplating my
every word
what do
I say?
what do
I do?
how do
I say it?
what if
this happens?
how do
I phrase it?
how should
I sound?
how will
they react?
what if I
mess it up?
what if I
tr
ip
on
my
wor
ds?
what if —
refresh.
restart.
rephrase.
rethink.
oh, the
absolute pain
of overanalyzing
everything,
is that
it can
make
even
the
simplest things
impossible
to
choke out.
