Fall in Love with an Over-thinker- Fisayomi Oloyede

Why hide from everyone who cares?

You’d be dead in a few years 

Give it time, nirvana is near.

They’ll claim you, run when they see the real us.

I don’t want you to waste your blood

Reviving a man who strangles us.

The one you adore so much you’d give up 

Your high horse so he could walk all over it.

I can’t see when you chose rosy cheeks,

Over peace of mind.

Take care of our mind before his.

Did you check up on us today?

Did you forget you exist today?

Why do your eyes well up?

Is he here with you?

Did he see you?

Know you cry as I do?

Ugly as it gets?

You scrunch your mouth and 

Run from the crowd,

Hide in your mind,

Never share your thoughts.

He doesn’t share his either,

You don’t ask for much.

Is your negligence catching up to you?

I know you won’t say a word

You’re finally quiet up there too

Keep it that way, avoid him.

He makes you have rosy cheeks,

Vacuums the air outta your lungs.

Leave him behind, chase your peace.

Do you think he’s worthy?

For you to shed layers of skin?

Peel them one by one slowly

He won’t get too deep and

We appreciate that.

He won’t ask

‘What goes on in your head?’

Cut it out, you overthinker! 

You’re ruining yourself.

Sharing moments with him 

Is not a crime.

You’ve committed to nothing 

Isn’t that nice?
