Overthinking Overnight
Again
Published in

I thought overnight
it was over
I had overseen it
the past had taken over
But all over again
it comes over here
the overthinking
that is over my head
in this overcrowded mind
It is overmuch
I need to overcome it
get over it
start over with a clean slate
This overthinking
that is over my head
in this overloaded stress
the past must take over
it won’t come over here
again.

When something’s already over, why can’t I get over it? — That’s the overthinking that sometimes happens to me. Then I decided to write it as a poem but used the word ‘over’ repeatedly.
Hi, I’m Indah. Thank you so much for reading this poem. Your claps, comments, and support mean a lot to me.
