Words

Why do I worry so much about words,
Ones that frustrate me and cause so much hurt.
They whirl round inside,
Turn me inside and out
Making me wonder what life's all about.

Sometimes I want it all to just stop.
To quieten down so my head doesn't pop.
I have often wondered if I wasn't  here...
But then I would miss the ones I hold dear.

Control it;
Perspective;
Don't let it take hold.
I want to enjoy life before I'm too old.
I look to Him;
Pray to Him;
Ask Him for help.
I know that it's time to look after self.
So peace come upon me,
Restore me anew
I know that I need to put all trust in You.
