'Trapped In My Mind' Poem by Manikyo Hay

By mani

My thoughts are a maze, I'm lost in my head
A never-ending cycle, where fears are fed
I overthink every move, every word, every deed
Analysis paralysis, my mind's in constant need

Of reassurance, of answers, of a clear path to take
But the more I think, the more my doubts awake
A vicious cycle, where calmness can't reside
My mind's a battlefield, where thoughts collide

In the silence, my thoughts scream loud and clear
A constant chatter, that brings only fear
I search for peace, but it's hard to find
Drowned by the noise, of my overthinking mind

I replay conversations, rehash every mistake
Ruminating on what-ifs, my heart starts to ache
The present moment, lost in the haze
Of hypotheticals, and 'what could've been' days

But still I think, though exhausted and worn
Hoping to find solace, in the thoughts that I've sworn
To quiet the noise, to still the storm
And find some peace, where love and calm can form
