Overthinking (2019)

Writer's picture: Nora HopkinsNora Hopkins

I’m used to being with the parents,

I’ve done it for years

Although sometimes I wish I had a friend to tell me “I’m here”

Guess I’m more mature, because I’ve had to step up to the role

People asking me questions, excepting me to know

What they want, what they actually want me to say

When they ask me if I’m good I tell them “I’m ok”

Life is much more complicated than a simple word

I guess I suppose that’s why I hang with the kids, pretending that we’re birds

Sometimes I think it’d be nice though

To have more people that are hype mo’re

But can be chill like that ice, oh

Chicken and rice?; no

Everybody thinks I’m something super great

In reality I waste a lotta time, being mad at parents and myself for no reason

I could vent to a mate

but would they really get it?

Now I’m just rhyming, trying to get into it

Young or old, what about those teen friends

Gals to talk with, bros who will go off the deep end

But maybe they all have a soft side, so we could figure out what all this means and,

I’ll get a new side of life, new point of view

I’m used to seeing everything from one pair of shoes

Maybe that’s why I like kids, they show me who I was back then

While I try to pick apart their feelings, I realize my own

The ones that I’ve buried, the things that they carry

I’ll send this to Carrie, think about how everyone else is doing

But how can I be them, when I don’t even know who I am?

Maybe I’m thinking too much, I am an introvert

An INFJ, some one who need o put in work

First I’ll be shy, ya. Maybe I’ll judge you

I’ll probably make some jokes and put myself in your shoes

Try and be in your head,

Finally I’ll have some compassion, realize that we all have passions

Cut you a break, let you go sleep in your bed

That’s all for now I’m kinda tired of rhyming,

see you next time, when there’s something worth writing
