Superpower: The Power to Read People's Minds

 Hearing Inside 

Our contemporary society is always thinking 

I always see people looking at me

then I start to overthink. 

These looks sometimes seem mean,

Or do not mean anything.

I can be ambivalent about these things- it is hard going based on looks. 

Suddenly, I got this funny feeling in my gut.

Through my ears, I could hear these voices,

Getting louder and louder. 

No one else could hear them except me.

Just by looking at anyone, I knew what they were thinking.

And I could feel myself changing.

The hardy people were quiescent on the outside. 

And I was sensing what was going on in each mind. 

I could only assume that this one person was a narcissist.

A guy seemed mean and like a misanthrope, as he thought poor about humankind. 

There were some arid minds.

This mental power allowed me to hear some palatable thoughts. 

Mentally I was listening to people overthinking,

A ponderous person worried about how they looked.

Others worried about what people think about them,

Just like I was before having this power. 

I figured out that everyone is egotistical. 

I know their thoughts now.

It was time for me to stop overthinking.

There is no need to question what people think of me.
