Mariana Trench - Deep Thoughts + A Poem

Picture

I have a horrible habit of overthinking. It always spirals into a negative loop of thoughts that can ruin my whole day. Luckily I have an understanding family that helps me dig myself out of these ruts, but sometimes I’m forced to deal with things all alone. It becomes really overwhelming, and I’ll admit I’ve spent many times in tears over situations, and moments that I made a huge deal in my head.
I find writing poetry a cathartic outlet, and when I was in a dark place, I created this one:

I fear the deepest depths of my mind
So dark and unexplored, afraid of what I’ll find
So afraid to find ugly, evil creatures
With sharp teeth and terrifying features

But lately I’ve felt anchored to the ocean floor
Not seasick, yet my body looks poor
The boundless water muffles my cries
And drown the tears in my eyes

But even way down here, there are shards of light
And even though fears have me locked down tight
I can’t run from the darkness, the awful mass
I must face them, and let them swim pass

For these evil thoughts, are not me, and not what I am to be
They are rather, mere figments, monsters of the sea

Does anyone else overthink things? If so, how do you deal with it? Thank you for stopping by and have a nice rest of your day.
