Overthink

I tend to overthink.

While others make decisions in a blink,

I take time to put it to ink.

Take this poem, thinking of words to link.

I sit in class and think,

Why do I overthink?

I put a lot to thought,

in search of an answer of some sort.

In exchange I don't expect a lot,

just a little thought,

to which I am ought.

Why do I put a lot to thought?

My mind feels full of belief;

wanting for some relief.

Like a little coral in a reef,

like in a big tree a little leaf;

but there's no time now to grief.

Now it's shaken, my belief.

(I've stolen my favorite part, hope you don't mind.)

Overthinking about overthinking is a very easy thing to do- and you've happened to write an amazing poem about it. (Props to you!) This reads stunningly- as one connected thought with different angles, much like overthinking itself. Great idea, great execution, is what I'm trying to say! I would rate this an 100.5 if it was possible.

Please, keep writing!

(P.S., sorry I was late to this, but it was worth checking it out in the end.)
