Overthinking

Swirling and spiraling -

thoughts race in the

violence of the hurricane.

What if I cannot?

What if it consumes time and space?

The fear rings in my ears.

My logic disappears.

It just doesn't make sense.

But in the eye - I see.

If I can overthink the worst

I can overthink the best.

What if I can?

It could be a pleasant surprise.

My courage muffles the noise.

My resolve is consistent.

Difficulty, then,

just means it's possible.
