Worriers Sink Warriors Shine

Worriers Sink, Warriors Shine - By Aare Tunde Dawood-Akerele Let's exempt the death Worry is for the living Who has cases to win Challenges to surmount Fears to conquer Aspirations to achieve Failure to escape, Success to record. To worriers, life is hellish Every issue seems unsurmountable They easily manufacture excuses Often soaked in sinking feelings And anxious about nothingness To warriors, life is fun They call problems challenges Often chase the winning formulas Not fearful but focused Warriors fight through the battlefield Stand gallantly at other bank Coast home winnings, loots, plunder And tell the adventure tales of heroic exploit Before the voyage Worriers had sunk mentally Physically in the midstream Get consumed by anxiety. Every worrier dies trophyless
