Analysis of Second Guessing
The struggle that goes on in my head
Whether I’m up or in my bed
Makes life kind of hard.
Newton says that for every action
Comes an opposite and like reaction
Which makes life kind of hard.
It’s not so much the outside forces
But which argument my mind endorses
That makes life kind of hard.
For in my head, for all my choices
I hear the second-guessing voices
Which makes life kind of hard.
If only I could believe I’m right
Without my mind putting up a fight,
Life wouldn’t be so hard.

About this poem
A fun little ditty that fully expresses how I feel sometimes when indecision and flip-flopping makes life kind of hard.
