Overthinking at 2 a.m

Navigating thoughts—
"Stay positive! Think positive!"
Easier said than done
when my mind loops endlessly through everything that could go wrong.

What if?
A valid question,
surfacing in the middle of my brain
right around 2 a.m.

It spins scenarios—
the smallest chances,
the wildest fears,
the tiniest cracks that could shatter everything.

Then morning comes—
and I wake to a normal day,
regretting another night without rest.

He hurt me.
Does that mean he doesn't love me anymore?
If he could hurt me,
doesn't that mean he doesn't care?

Every small moment,
every quiet silence,
feeds my doubt.
And yet—
we sit down for coffee like nothing's wrong.

Then comes the thought:
Today is important. Stay positive.

But I'm scared—
scared that if I am positive,
I'll jinx it.
So I think. And think. And think.

It's not easy,
being an overthinker.
