Think

It could've, should've gone differently.

By Eunique GaitherPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

It seems that it’s possible to care too much

Push yourself too far,

Think too much

And give yourself to

Too many things

It’s too easy to put on a fake smile

Run from altercations

And just live

Like you're okay

You hardly mess up

But when you do

It hurts so much worse than it should

You pull yourself down

Even if it appears

That no one else really cares

Or they tell you

It's okay, it's no big deal.

That pain reaches deep

And your mind races.

You replay the moment

That could have gone so differently

You find where you messed up

But it’s too late to change what already happened

So you sit

And think,

Think too much

About things that cannot change.

So stop,

Stop before you hurt yourself.

Relax,

Just breathe,

You can do this

And you will be okay.

About the Creator

Eunique Gaither

I love to write. It allows me to express myself in a way that I can never bring myself to do verbally. I started writing in 6th grade and have never turned back.
