Ithe overthinker

Marty Ray Coots 1975 (Chattanooga)



* The overthinker *

You might hear a song
that you're digging on
an overthinker breaks it down
from the instrumental
to every little sound
on how the beat makes them feel
how they can relate to the lyrics
and how they deal
It's why an overthinkers
stares off into space
for several minutes
with a dumb look on their face
they're breaking things down
To formulate a plan
and analyzing things
preparing for the Hell
that chaos brings.

About this poem

I have been told that I overanalyze absolutely everything. You prepare for the worst and hope for the best
