Worry

It's sad but

sometimes it takes weeks

to get rid of it

once it caressed your cheeks

Its dark and

like a cloud it hangs

sending saturating shadows;

pouring rain til thunder bangs

It will sit next to you-

a deep depressing dream

Clutching your hand

A scared kid it may seem

But if you help it out

it becomes mean and malicious

It will leap and attack

Consume you like you're delicious

To Worry you are

like a meal or snack

It can eat you up

so you can't get back

It will torture you and haunt you

Gnaw your insides all day long

At the end it'll stick in your mind

like a somber, solemn song
