Overthinking

As I'm looking through these pages Re-reading my old statements There's something in every word I write That always takes me back to when I was sixteen A kid that's dreaming of a life I still don't have Is there something more for me than every day stuck on repeat In a job that doesn't make me happy Have I been pushing pen to paper instead of catching up on sleep? I'm overthinking every word that I write down (That I write down) Am I outdated? Fresh ink fading like a name etched in the concrete of our neighbourhood That I can't read anymore These days I don't feel anything Except the emptiness inside my chest I keep reasoning with that voice inside of my head That said "You're taking too long" (Get a grip before it's gone) Pushing pen to paper instead of catching up on sleep I'm overthinking every word that I write down (That I write down) Am I outdated? Fresh ink fading like a name etched in the concrete of our neighbourhood That I can't read anymore Have I been chasing a lie? I can't decide if my choices are right (Have I been wasting my time?) Am I wasting my time? I can't decide but I'll keep an open mind Have I been pushing pen to paper instead of catching up on sleep? I'm overthinking every word that I write down (That I write down) Am I outdated? Fresh ink fading like a name etched in the concrete of our neighbourhood That I can't read anymore
