The worry

The worry

Morning light, you rise, still exhausted from yesterday 
Another day to get through, in bed you just want to stay 
Gathering all your thoughts, a day of tormenting yourself 
You try and keep it together, it’s damaging emotions and health 

Nightmare starts, pulse getting loud
Walking through fast, get away from the crowd
Arrive at work, breaking a smile
It’ll be over soon, just have to pretend for a while, 

Did I lock the door, I didn’t check the alarm
Is it on? I have to stay calm
They will think I am weird, they probably already do
They just don’t know what my thoughts put me through

Did I feed the cat, I’m sure I did
What if I didn’t, out the back door I slid
Fresh air, count to ten, I’ll be home soon
Distract your self with a happy tune
Humming away, to break out of my mind
Searching for a worry, but there’s nothing to find 

It’s always what ifs and you think of the worst 
If you don’t check, you feel you’ll be cursed
OCD and anxiety mixed
A tablet or cream can not get you fixed 
It’s a battle each day between you and your head
Left alone with it, talking you dread

Always remember people battle different things
Be kind always, hug them with wings

Crazy real, eye opening, and in a way personally displacing. Engaging on a different level. Gonna come back to this one. Kudos. This is something very special.

Fantastic donna, a lot of problems people deal with we can't see. I love how this reads exactly how the mind can be, quentioning, doubting, distracting you. Great write as always ☀â˜ș
