Immanuela Ejim Poet Rhyme

Troubled

Are you troubled over trivia, do you spend your time in worry

groping over past misfortunes you can’t change

are you immersed in the regret of your careless doings

wondering whether circumstances past you can rearrange

Wise up and dust off the ashes of your past mistakes

leave behind what you can’t undo; constant self-blame will do you no good

look towards a brighter future, for there is yet hope for the living

cheer up, beat depression and always  be in a lighter mood.

Are you troubled over trivia, do you spend your time in worry

groping over past misfortunes you can’t change

are you immersed in the regret of your careless doings

wondering whether circumstances past you can rearrange

Wise up and dust off the ashes of your past mistakes

leave behind what you can’t undo; constant self-blame will do you no good

look towards a brighter future, for there is yet hope for the living

cheer up, beat depression and always  be in a lighter mood.

Beata Agustin July 16, 2025 at 2:45 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
