you think?

I was sitting thinking.  Well, actually that is probably the problem, I am always sitting and overthinking. In fact I am doing it now by not getting to the point of my post.  I know, I am special, but you love it.  Lately I have been stifled in my writing because of aforementioned overthinking.  First off, I have been dealing with a lot of internal, well shit internal too, turmoil.  I start to write about it, but then stop because I second guess it and sit and wonder who...

old poem of mine that I think fits:You have finally faced the musicCut through the overproduction,Pushed through the synthesized keys and unlocked your destinySwam against the tide of superfluous watered down beatsEscaped the trap of snares...Came up and breathed in the pure air of lyrics.Unearthed what lies beneath and between the lines.Found the treasures of knowledge in each syllable.....I am trying...
