My mind
Easily activated
Working overtime
Overthinking
Assessing the possibility
Of unlikely
Yet possible events
Playing out scenarios
Checking hazards
Strungout on distress that
Distracts, detracts from ease
Apprehension palpable
Stuck on the merry go
Round of rumination
Watching a world that
Spins as a blur
My only power
Give fear a voice
Equally as daunting
Or nullify it
Do it afraid
Then step away
From the horses
