The Fine Line Into Overthinking

Engaging with thoughts
trickling through my head
is like balancing a thumb tack
on a finger tip—

Impossible.

The fine line into overthinking
is not a line at all.
It’s the jagged edge of a precipice
over which I quickly

Fall.

I spiral myself in and out of my
personal truths
and familiar lies.
The heart of my soul is stuck somewhere

Inside.
