Question

“Overthinker’s Anthem"

My mind’s a movie on replay,
Every little word I said today.
Turning small moments into storms,
Building up the “what if”s in my thoughts’ war zone.

Check my phone for the hundredth time,
Did I say it wrong, did I cross a line?
Everyone else seems calm and clear,
While I’m busy analyzing every tiny fear.


I know it’s mostly in my head,
But the doubts all scream instead.
I need to find a way to breathe,
And let my tangled worries leave.


’Cause I’m an overthinker,
Playing back each scene a little slower.
Taking every whisper,
And turning it into something louder.
But maybe I can learn
To let my restless mind unburn,
Hit pause on all the noise inside,
And give my heart the wheel this time.


Replay that convo from last week,
Wonder what they really think of me.
Stacking up “should have”s in my brain,
Like a tower made of glass about to break again.

I plan the future ten years ahead,
Arguing with things I haven’t said.
Living in a world that’s all “maybe,”
Missing out on “here and now,” lately.


I know it’s mostly in my head,
But the doubts all scream instead.
I need to trust the things I’ve done,
And let myself be “good enough” for once.


’Cause I’m an overthinker,
Playing back each scene a little slower.
Taking every whisper,
And turning it into something louder.
But maybe I can learn
To let my restless mind unburn,
Hit pause on all the noise inside,
And give my heart the wheel this time


What if… I let go tonight?
What if… it all turns out alright?
What if… every “what if” in my mind
Is just a shadow, not the light?

So I’ll breathe in, count to four,
Let the air rush through that open door.
I’ll talk back to that doubtful voice,
Remind myself I still have choice.


I’m not my fears, I’m not my past,
I’m not the thoughts that rush too fast.
I’m more than worries in my head,
I’m every dream I haven’t lived yet.

I’m still an overthinker,
But I’m learning how to make it softer.
Turn down the harsh, loud critic,
And make my inner voice more kinder.
’Cause maybe I can be
A little more at peace with me,
Let go of every doubt and lie,
And trust myself, at least this time.

Yeah, I’ll still think too much sometimes,
But I won’t let it steal my life.
Tonight I’ll leave those thoughts behind,
And walk forward with a quieter mind.
