Worries On My Mind
I have a restless mind
With worries that deplete
With little happiness
Or true serenity
My worries are insane
And from dark places abound
And remind of the days
When depression kept me down
The catharsis that I need
Comes when I vent
As often as need be
Until I’m peaceful again
Church sometimes helps
Though I do not pursue religion
But in the choir I have felt
That peace I have been given
There are good things sometimes
When my life I inventory
And it’s then that I find
I’m no longer plagued by worry
