Overthought Thoughts of a 21-Year-Old Angela Colleen Prendergast

Tic-Toc goes the clock. It is 2 a.m., the mind is racing. This poetry collection portrays the thoughts, perhaps overthought, of a vulnerable 21-year-old discovering who she is and what she stands for against the negativity around her. Falling victim to overthinking resulted in the creation of these prose poems that discuss everyday struggles and emotions. Love, loss, time, and identity are a few themes highlighted in the poems that truly evoke raw emotions, and display the struggles of a young adult trying to find her clarity in a cluttered world.
