Worry Poem by Wallis minten

When I am worried about something I have to do right
I can’t stop myself from feeling some fright
“You know you can’t do it” says a voice in my head
And I try not to listen but can still feel my dread
I try to ignore the problems that stand in my way
But they get darker and heavier after each passing day
I can only think of the worst outcomes in my mind
I can’t run for long and it’s useless to hide
But usually I find I have no need to worry or fear
I am just being silly and the thoughts make my mind clear
If I fail I try again, and if I pass then I pass
I need to look to the future, not think of my failures in the past
But it is hard to think that my worries are wrong
For the grip it holds me in is controlling and strong
And even when people tell me that I will be alright
I can’t help but think that they can’t be right
Doubting my ability’s is the fatal flaw I carry
It makes me a little too suspicious and wary
This fear I carry is all made in my mind
And if I search deeper into it I wonder what I’ll find
