Worry

Like a boa constrictor
Coiling round its prey
Cutting off the blood supply. 
Negative emotions slowly
Squeeze out all life.
Agony and anxiety
Ultimately kills hearts.
Life is extinct.
Don't worry yourself to death.

Daniel Turner Date: 7/2/2017 2:22:00 PM I think peace comes with age because you learn worrying only adds to the problem. Nice write, Elizabeth:) Login to Reply Elizabeth Kinch Date: 7/2/2017 2:52:00 PM I wish my mother in law would realise this, she's old enough to know better!

White Wolf Date: 7/2/2017 8:07:00 AM I like your description here! In reality, there really is no point in worrying! Easier said than done though! Nicely done Login to Reply Elizabeth Kinch Date: 7/2/2017 8:53:00 AM Worrying certainly is a waste of time and effort. It's training yourself to be positive.

Roy Pett Date: 7/2/2017 7:26:00 AM Worrying is an awful emotion Elizabeth, even at my age I still have to tell myself to stop worrying and just get on with life, well written, :) Login to Reply Elizabeth Kinch Date: 7/2/2017 7:32:00 AM I really try not to worry. I'm sure my mother in law will take herself to an early grave, she worries if she has nothing to worry about!
