Poetry & Self-Awareness

I’ve been overthinking 

That’s why sometimes I just start drinking

Because my thoughts start shrinking and I no longer feel like thinking

I’m scared of clinging

So, I start digging

And it starts stinging 

Thinking about the moments that left me sinking

How do I start a fresh beginning? 

I am so tired of overthinking

It never helps me feel like I’m winning

I try to stop thinking, my mind starts spinning

I start tripping

Gripping tight to my sanity before I start quitting
