Pointless Overthinking

I can see my hair falling,
From all the pointless overthinking.
As I look at the hair in my hand
I wonder, what if I go bald?

Will people make fun of me?
Are they making fun of me now?
Do they think I’m pretty?
Do they think I’m witty?

For every word I utter
Every bread I butter
I wonder, what will people say?
Am I weird in anyway?

Do I fit in this world?
Is the dress I wear too bold?
Are the words I speak too cold?
How often am I judged?

I can see my hair falling
From all the pointless overthinking.
Yet I cannot stop thinking,
The thoughts keep haunting me.

How often do you assume others think bad about you and how do those thoughts look like?

You said it all dear. At times, over thinking got up with ourselves and take control of us.
