self-flagellation

I tell
myself
don’t over-
think it
just go
with the
flow &
don’t
dissect
every
damn
thing
but
the mind
is a
torturous
thing
& it’s
like that
meme
you know
the one
that you
chuckle
at because
you relate
especially
at 3 a.m.
when you
have to
get up
at 6:30
but no
my mind
would
rather
do neuro-
surgery
on every
sentence
that bubbled
out just
for shits
& giggles
& isn’t
that enough
punishment
to justify
existence?
