Overthinking

Whispers
Whispers
Whispers

City lights feel so distant
Every face seems so resistant
Coffee cold, another day
Words I need but can't say
Mind keeps racing past midnight
Dreams feel heavy, nothing's right
Scrolling through these empty feeds
While my lonely heart just pleads

They say "just give it more time"
But I'm lost between each rhyme
Searching for a place to land
But I don't think they'd understand

Floating in between the spaces
Where my heart forgets these places
Soft whispers in my head
Tell me things I wish I'd said
Maybe I'm just overthinking
While my confidence keeps sinking
In this haze of midnight blue
I don't know what else to do

Notifications light my screen
But connection's just a dream
Say I'm busy, need some space
But I'm craving their embrace

Volume up to fill the void
But my thoughts can't be destroyed
If I spoke my truth today
Would they listen anyway?

Floating in between the spaces
Where my heart forgets these places
Soft whispers in my head
Tell me things I wish I'd said
Maybe I'm just overthinking
While my confidence keeps sinking
In this haze of midnight blue
I don't know what else to do

Don't say "you're not alone"
When I'm staring at my phone
Truth is heavy, hope feels light
And I'm tired of this fight
