Shadows of thought

Thinking is a weird thing
It’s either you don’t do it at all, or you do it too much
It’s where you go into your head and zone out the world
You may cry, or you won’t, either way, you act as if all is fine; when it never is
It could last forever, have you spiraling into the endless void of darkness and despair
When you realize what’s being done, it’s too late. Or is it?
You can’t allow your thoughts to take you over, be the bigger person they say, you’re strong they say, but are you really?
If they do get to you one day, no one understands, they never will, it’s always “mental health matters” until you’re being swallowed by your own thoughts and no one can help you.
It’s like a never ending cycle,
Is it worth it?
Is it worth it just to think for one second?
