The Tangles within

Do I overthink, ponder so deep?
Upset by minutiae, they declare
Thoughts are swift, want to sleep
Drama Queen, they mock me, unaware

Restless nights, haven't slept a wink
Overacting they say, to petty things
"Act your age" pretending a teen they think,
Trying to be mature, eating binge

I give abundantly, expecting the same,
Lost in the tangles, they opine
A small girl , acting lame
Fragile and sensitive, they define.

The lady so grave, was full of life, once
I don’t deserve these people's objections
How much love do I need? One ounce
What my soul deprive, is His connections

The Tangles within(Talwinder kaur) Do I overthink, ponder so deep?
Upset by minutiae, they declare
Thoughts are swift, want to sleep
Drama Queen, they mock me, unaware

Restless nights, haven't slept a wink
Overacting they say, to petty things
"Act your age" pretending a teen they think,
Trying to be mature, eating binge

I give abundantly, expecting the same,
Lost in the tangles, they opine
A small girl , acting lame
Fragile and sensitive, they define.

The lady so grave, was full of life, once
I don’t deserve these people's objections
How much love do I need? One ounce
What my soul deprive, is His connections
