Worrys of Life

The things people worry about in life
the things that fill people with strife
are very commons 
but at the same time very rare
and in my life I've always found
that none of this is fair
why should we make our lives worse
thinking about this curse
even if we just let life take it's course
we still worry over nothing
every time we think of something
it's soon followed
by thoughts stowed
in the back of our heads
like terrible nightmares
that chase us from our beds 
so if your carefree
consided yourself lucky
but one day there'll be
worrys so scary
you'll dread them getting loose
while  there waiting,
plotting in your head
like a noose 
waiting to unthread

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.
