Worry is a Weight – v2


Worry is a weight
far too familiar
a burden I carry
drowning in my thoughts
my mind reeling
with many permutations
different scenarios
reasons for reaction
a life in the mind
reeling inside my head

Worry is a weight
in perpetual motion
no beginning or end
a tape looping
familiar response
with many variations
assuming motives
within each action, gesture,
facial expressions revealing
that which words have left hidden

Worry is a weight
an anchor on my journey
like anger, a demon,
part of my struggle
to let go, to fly; but
some of it inherited
needing to let go
to trust more fully in God;
He is greater than
all my worries together.
