license to overthink

you start in gear one

immediately focusing on two things at once

so the thoughts start to flow

as you check for a car at the bottom of your road

and your handbrake is down

so there is no stopping now

you begun to roll back

you are out of control

and the hazards everywhere

100 miles per hour

yet they are not getting anywhere

until they collide

with your thoughts so crushed you can hardly find

how to regain them

so you just let them be

another memory 

of your introspective mind
