    Disquieting thoughts lurking
    In the recesses of my mind
    They are nocturnal by nature
    Making me sleep deprived

    Seeing them I take to my heels
    But they catch up with me soon
    Nothing can deter them
    To rejection they are immune

    With every passing hour
    They become more profound
    Causing in me anxiety and fear
    They stand their ground

    I feign sleep
    Hoping they would leave
    They laugh at me and say
    We are not so naive

    We won't leave you, they say
    Try hard you might
    Unless you stop over-thinking
    We will be there every night

    Do not overthink
    Take my unsolicited advice
    I am trapped but save yourself
    And let go of this vice.

    Hi,
    Welcome to IL and good poem on overthink. True, usually I overthink on my a few past actions which I did knowingly/unknowingly and hurt myself. As time goes on I forget, forgive my self for the sake of my peace of mind and let it go which I can't go back and change.

    "Do not overthink" says my friend.
    I take her message to heart.
    My mind works hard to implement
    This profound message.
    Before I realise, the milkvan's honking
    Forces me off the bed.
    Ouch! One more night is ruined in
    Avoiding over thinking!:eek:

    A nice poetry, @SayHi.:wave1:
    Eh dil maange more!

    Exactly what I am going through. So annoying when I have to spend 2 hours daily waiting for sleep in the middle of the night. Yesterday, I sat and did some work, but it is crippling, to be honest. I have gained weight, I am so fatigued. It is a disease truly.

    Nice one! Welcome to IL.

    Liked the choice of your words and the theme too! Felt like the last para had some message .... :) Do not Overthink is like telling the monkey mind not to think about monkeys while meditating ... :)
