Lost in OverThought
Perfect Past Time
Ah, overthinking…
I think that’s a new Superpower of mine.I’m Expert level, analyzing every detail, feeling , breath, sound, word, sigh, color, texture, to overthink how to
Do better, Be better
Be prettier, be smarter
Younger, even though
No amount of thought
Will change my age..
If wishes were horses
I’d have a stable full
And then my
Knight in
Shining armor
Could canter in
On one of
my Wish Horses
And we’d live
happily ever after
But all
Overthinking does is
Magnify my
Deficiencies
And show me
What I’m not.
It doesn’t matter
What I can do,
But what I cannot,
It pokes my brain
Like a bloody thorn
Just to jolt me
What did I do
What did I not do
What did I say
What did I not say
Is it my hair, my eyes
My body, my laugh,
My height, my weight
My personality
My lack of…
I shoulda, coulda
Woulda
Yup, overthinking
Is one of those
Homologous things
That no longer
serves a purpose
But we hang onto it
In addicting torture
Just in case
Someday it does
Something productive
Let me overthink that too

Broken blade of a swordsman
My little dog, Snowball, made her way to the vet for a review of her hip. The young puppy suffered from a vascular necrosis, a condition predisposing her to hip dysplasia (when the ball of the bone, the femur, does not fit into the joint socket).
