My mother always told me "your a thinker, use your brain," but every time I think to hard it causes me great pain. I tried to tell my dad but he just told me not to strain he said its just a thing in life your brain just has a stain.

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;

I actually really liked this... it's really nice how it's short too. But it also leaves the window to expand if you wanted to. Either way it's good!

I like this one, how you compared it to everyday things. I really do hope that your Cognitive Distortion gets better, though like I said, the most quirky (I'm not sure if that is the right word ... do you know what I mean though??) are the best authors/artists/etc ... :)

&lrm;&quot;I&rsquo;m learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don&rsquo;t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world: I run my world.&quot; - Beyonc&eacute;

I know that sometimes the formatting in Teen Ink sucks so I won't go for it. Anyway, your a thinker should be you're a thinker and to hard should be too hard. its just a thing should be it's just a thing. Overall, this poem is kinda funny and so, kudos for that. :)))
