Things I would tell myself when I think too much
We are afraid of losing hold of something already beautiful
It's like balancing an egg in a spoon with your mouth
We must never lose hold, we must never let it fall
But we slip, every now and then
We break eggs every now and then
Sometimes we don't mean it
sometimes we do, just because it feels good to do so,
because it's so FUCKING liberating.
We build a wall of words, words, words around us
To protect us from more words, words, words that could hurt us
But there are so many words, words, words that we become trapped
We get suffocated, and we cannot breathe
To fight words with more words would entangle us in so much words.
Just SHUT UP. Okay? Shut up.
Stop overthinking.
Stop overtalking.
Stop overpowering.
Stop overanalyzing.
Stop overexplaining.
Stop overdefending.
If you won't, then you won't get anything.
You'd think you'd have your way by repressing others with your loudness
But you only get what you give and not what others give.
Just shut up once in a while.
Just listen.
Thank you very much.
Calm down
Look around
Open up
Make way
Stay silent for now
You'd see more clearly through the open space uncluttered with words.
