Running hands through my hair
Conversing
Like we’ve done time and time
Before
Don’t overthink it
But we do
The past hasn’t been very kind
Don’t worry about the quiet
But we do
It’s always on my mind
Don’t check the feeds
But we do
Or check for signs
Just in case
Don’t be neurotic
Don’t be psychotic
Don’t showcase your chaotic
Inner workings
No one knows how to handle
Your deranged little soul
And it hurts
And hurts
Until you spiral some more
A never ending cascade
Hidden behind a facade
Of brick and mortar smiles
