A disease called overthinking

spilleronsheet

An over thinker sat on a crouch

looking high up in clouds

is it a mathematical equation

or life posing numerous questions

 

an over thinker walked amidst the crowds

people chatting by 

he thought he was criticised

they were looking at the streets 

but he thought there were stares all along the streets

 

 

An over thinker overheard a conversation

eavesdropping maybe was his nature

he learned some one was sad

someone was fired after gone mad

he wept

he cried

no it wasn’t his job

yet he got connected with the soul

 

the  over thinker  was advised

to close ears

to close eyes

to shutter the over racing mind

 

the over thinker replied

my tears can’t elevate the poor soul

my solutions can’t bring a knocking door

the over thinker cried and smiled

a dilemma running over his clueless mind

those with limited thoughts your lucky being your way

while i am overthinking on my way

but in lost humanity i am trying my way……

 

 

 

In deep thoughts

in deep insights

Do you know what did the  over thinker conclude?

 

take a guess…..

 

 

to the closed doors of opportunities 

people say new doors open again

but in my crumbled and jumbled thoughts

a window of world shall open 

not all doors are meant for me

maybe a sympathy and empathy of window is required

a doorbell of understanding

a greet of warmth

a hug of happiness

a smile of cheers

and simple words

”its okay to overthink,

but don’t dwell too much in words

You thought a lot

Now take rest”

with cold air of breathes

I sleep with thoughts and rest

            Dear Spiller, Awesome gripping one altogether. Your flow of words just grabs us into your world.
            The medicine for overthinker is to enagage in an entirely new skill, or get into a new opportunity. The disease for sure cured šŸ™‚
            But pls keep thinking, else we would not get these masterpieces from you ......

            • spilleronsheet

              I had the disease
              Itā€™s troubling to live with so many thoughts
              Thanks for the cure my God doctor
              Sure I donā€™t think i can easily get away from this disease
              Shall keep thinking
              And glad you liked my over racing mind

            • Paul Bell

              Over thinker, self-conscious, and probably a million other traits.
              It's a tough life that one, but lived by many. In saying that, when I'm at the football I'm usually over thinking how bad this lot are.

              • spilleronsheet

                It sure is
                And from the poetry of yours, i am sure you sorted many of those thoughts
                Thatā€™s great to think while play
                But what if your tricked when someone already did a goalā€¦.

                • Paul Bell

                  The crowd collapse when we score a goal, the trainer takes on oxygen and overdoses himself.

                    Deep wording
                    Maybe a help can conclude the puzzles running in mind
                    Thank you so much Neville

                    Good words spilleronsheet, I always say to people ā€œthinking is dangerousā€.

                      Thanks dear Andy
                      It truly is
                      And only with experiences one can learn to calm oneself

                    • woundedheart

                      We all over think our own problems and miss the simple solution of the lateral thinkers . Love your message. ā˜ŗ

                      • spilleronsheet

                        Thank you dear Woundedheart
                        Exactly each one of us overthinks
                        And much more this disease is contagious to poet society, I assume

                      • Rozina

                        I am also guilty of overthinking sometimes. Good lines.

                        • spilleronsheet

                          Cheers to you dear Rozina
                          I guess we all are criminals therein
                          Sometimes always
                          Sometimes rarely
                          Thanks, I am glad you liked it
