Remi Moore Overthought, from the upcoming book People Like Us
Overthought
The booming blasphemy
echoes like a symphony.
Those words, those words
go over and over again.
Echoing in your head.
Keeping you awake in bed.
I won't let you sleep.
All you will do is think,
and repeat the deeds
you cannot change.
On the movie screen
of your mind's eye,
let the reel roll by,
time after time,
hour after hour.
I am the demon taking hold.
The demon that does not let go.
What now? What next?
Count your cards place your bets.
You think you're lucky?
We both know you can't win.
We've played this game before,
old friend.
This demon you don't know,
This demon you've never met.
I'm sure you'll remember.
Still want to place that bet?
A simple reminder, a clue.
Still no memory yet?
I'll tell you what I am.
I'll tell you what to expect.
I come during the day
but more often at night.
I show up for the wrong,
and take credit for the right.
In the back of your mind
I am the hindsight.
Keeping you awake,
reminding you all too well,
about every mistake,
and every time you have failed.
You still don't remember my name
You don't remember me yet.
What is this demon's name?
Why, this demon is named regret.
