"When Thoughts Become a Habit" is a poem about the exhausting cycle of overthinking and how easily our minds can become trapped between the past, the future, and the present moment.
Through Radha's everyday life, the poem shows how overthinking can begin from the moment we wake up and continue while we work, rest, and even try to sleep. She carries memories of yesterday, worries about tomorrow, and endless "what ifs" that slowly take away the peace of today.
The poem reminds us that thinking endlessly about a situation cannot change what has already happened or guarantee what will happen next. Sometimes, overthinking simply becomes a habit-a pattern our minds repeat until we learn to pause and let certain thoughts go.
At its heart, this poem is about choosing peace over endless questioning, learning to breathe, and understanding that not every thought deserves our energy.
I, Lavanya Y. Rao, am a new writer, and I have just started writing these poems-often about thoughts, feelings, and ideas that suddenly come to my mind. I simply put those thoughts into words and turn them into poems. I would truly appreciate it if you take a moment to vote for my poem and share your thoughts in the comments. Your support and feedback would mean a lot to me as I continue this new writing journey. ❤️🙏
