It should not affect you

It is the littlest of concerns

They are your friend, yet you already feel like you have coalesced

And I promise you it is not toxic

I swear that

It is just one little thing that happened

It will occur again

You will have that same time with your friend

But when?

Soon

I promise, soon!

Going about whatever you were doing before

Your heart suddenly feels as though it has stopped

Ceased

Halted

And it is all because of your friend

Overthinker

He has beguiled your body

He has been there a while

You have never seen him fully until now

He is in the spotlight right now

Turning away

You can feel your face heat up

Your hands are crying

The sound of the world is impeded out by Overthinker

He completely has taken over the game controls of you

He is talking to your brain at this moment

They do not get along

No, they have never met

Yet, your brain holds prior negative knowledge about him

He holds an opinion

Overthinker has taken control over your heart

You are aware of the thump, thump, thump, thump, thump

You gaze at the others around you

Overthinker has your brain travel down the route, thinking they are in the scrutiny of you

But they are not

They are narcissists

They are gladly selfish at this moment

You are not friends with Attention

Attention taunts you like a child on the playground 

It brings you so much malaise

You despise it

But there is nothing you can do

You are depleted by it

It grovels through your body like an overgrown vine

Making sure it has bedaubed every inch

Suddenly, you feel Overthinker controlling your whole body

Your body starts to quiver

You feel as if you could go under at any moment

Your knees lassitude

The counter is your bolster right now

You can feel your knuckles whiten as you stretch for the only thing that can safely encompass you

The blurred streaks of light are the only things your vision can pick up

Your brain has befallen Overthinker’s words

He is following compulsory orders

Overthinker is the predominance of your body

No one wishes it to be

But coercion has had hold of it

Bricked off every entrance and exit

Your body has halted because of Overthinker

They have been given strict orders and no one but you can override them

But, Overthinker has overridden you
