It eats up inside me, tearing my
Heart and swallows my soul
It envelopes me in fears
Washing away happiness.
It comes when you least expect
through your subconcious mind
Until you let it enter your feelings
And allow it into your life.
It makes you sad to see your
short life fly by as if it were
the swift blink of one's eye.
Makes us fade away.
Fading into our past so full
Of regrets and woes, troubles
and turmoils of times we
dwelled in so long ago.
We dig deeper into our past
Until we become almost lost
In illusions of our forgotten
Childhood memories.
We come to the state of mind
Where we know no more.
We simply function on autopilot
For the sake of carrying on.
You may ask me if I'm Ok,
But I will give you the same
reply I give all others whom ask.
"I'm fine", two words, one lie.
This is what worry does,
It twists you to a time
when don't know who you
really are any more.
Your strenghts and hobbies,
personality and beauty
All forgotten in the midst
Of one's traumatic turmoil.
In our state of illusion,
Oblivion through our eyes
seems closer than all
ever believed.
The worry monster
Eats further and further
Away at you until
eventually your gone.
In your own sorrows,
constantly drowning
Forever forgetting the
love you were given.
The love that shaped
you to the person you
once were, a happy
soul full of joy.
And as the positive being
Rebuilds it's once forgotten
happiness; the worry monster
growls until finally it's fading.
Fading away to another
Tortured soul to punish,
But again you feel alive
And full of life.
As the worry monster
retreats to leave you be
your heart glows at
your worry- free success.
