Erin Soares-Anselmi Poet Rhyme

Out of Focus

When you focus on things beyond your control
Is like dishing up heap of frustration in a large bowl

Pacing back and forth biting your nails
Depression takes the wind right out of your sails

Stress becomes your new best friend
Swimming with anxiety in the deep end

Your mind and body are weak and frail
You feel you are living in the depths of hell

Trying to save the world when nobody cares
Leaves you shaking your head fully aware

You are the one who is spinning your wheels
While they wonder Hmmm what’s the big deal?

So listen to my words and take heed
Ask God to help you to plant the seed

For them to feel the truth of conviction
To turn around and flee from their addictions

And don’t forget to set your focus where it belongs
For only Jesus has the power to right the wrong.

You will find when you give them to the Lord
It releases the pressure and peace is your reward.
