Hi! Long time no see. I haven't been here in a while, but I was hoping to get some critique/revision on this piece.... Im going to go read some of your pieces and share some thoughts! I hope you all have been well.
Overthought
There will come a day
when life tires of you.
The great abandonment
that leaves you on the other side,
alone.
Go with your middle finger high,
cheeks pulled wide
as its back turns.
You prepared for this
through philosophers’ words,
dog-eared books and
circled proverbs,
hours spent
trying to outthink
what would never spare you.
Aren’t you glad?
