The Screams Of SILENCE

In the utmost moments of stillness my thoughts chatter

Whether I am happy, sad or confused doesn't matter

The intensity of thoughts by time gets deep and deeper.

At times the branches of thoughts are interconnected

Sometimes they are contrast to each other;

Remains disconnected.

Surprisingly, flooding of thoughts makes me feel so stressed.

I don't know to what extent overthinking is normal,

Is it only me who is jumbled or is that very natural?

The chaotic thoughts destroy my happiness;

I hope they are mortal!

Yes, silence does speak,

Even it screams and yells.

I literally wish, I could bid this overthinking

A big farewell.

Engulfed in silence all I feel is sad,

Doubtful and unwell.
