Overthinking

Poetry prompt — day 1

I love thinking, Because it gives me a chance To make perspectives uniquely.

I like to lose in my thoughts, But somewhere when I go deep, I found myself over-thinking.

Overthinking is hard to handle, Because it leads to problems, And it is hard to take a step out of it.

I try to overcome it, And at the end, I again found myself lost in it.

However, I try my best to get out of it, Because a person should be busy living, Or busy thinking, not over-thinking.

First and foremost, I want to thank all of you for giving your valuable time to my challenge. I am grateful to all of you who are taking part in this challenge.

Change comes to us suddenly. Before two or three days, you never thought of participating in such a challenge. However, today you all are part of this challenge. I know you all have a thought that if you took a part in this challenge, it will be hard for you to manage time. It's hard to accept change.

Now, you all wonder what is today's prompt.

Write a poem about the thing that you want to change in yourself?

It's hard to even think about it. But, I am sure everyone has at least one thing that they want to change in their selves.

So, take a deep breath, think, and start writing.

As a writer and poet, I love thinking. Besides, writing I always think a lot.

You can overthink a small problem or challenge until it looks like a huge and undefeatable monster. I received so much feedback from my loved ones that I am an overthinker and I want to change it.

I accept that I am an overthinker. I try to not be an overthinker and to be a philosopher.

On the other side, I will make sure that you will all enjoy this beautiful challenge, and you will have a chance to connect with other poets of this amazing platform.

The main purpose of this challenge is to be creative and inspired. It's hard to be motivated at all times. This challenge will spark your creativity and give you a chance to think deep.

You will also have a chance to connect with other fellow poets. I request you all to tag me in your poem, so I can read your creation. I am going to put all the poems on this prompt in this post once the poets will publish them.
