Chronic Overthinker

 Sometimes it isn't just an excuse, 

Sometimes it isn't a cop out or the easy way out.

For those that don't have the problems of the mind, 

their solutions are just so easy...

We can't just stop thinking, 

no matter how hard we try. 

The constant daily battle to stop the racing thoughts, 

The daily struggle from keeping our minds from going to that dark place.

That place of sorrow, of the guilty that nothing is good enough, and no matter how hard we try, we will never be good enough. 

Replaying certain scenarios in our mind of things that happened possibly that day or a different day. 

How could we of done this better?

How could we of said this better?

The thousands of 'What ifs?'

One thought train.

Millions of different tracks.

We don't need your criticism. 

We don't need your sarcastic comments on it's not that hard to stop, 

considering most of us have delt with it most of our lives.

Loving us isn't easy,

Loving us is something most people won't do,

They give up and walk away. 

Leaving us feeling broken,

Or they lose faith in us.

It's constant work loving a overthinker...

But the work is worth it. 

The love and trust we have in those that love us is what helps us get through each minute, each hour, and each day.

So love us.

Be there for us!

Be our ear.

Be our shoulder. 

Be our support. 

It's the Little Things That Matter To Us. 

You may not realize it.

But, WE sure as hell do!
