Worrying

The imprint of the world's worst sorrows
Are laid across your wearied face like
Jagged cracks along a porcelain mask.
Ragged lines drawn by time's cruel hand
Are deepened by stories of anguish and strife.

Storm clouds trouble your toilworn mind,
Black thoughts darken your wavering soul.
A multitude of angry words and foul deeds
Weigh heavily upon your gentle spirit,
Dragging you down into a sea of despair.

Climb aboard a tempest-tossed ship.
Let tattered sails carry you far away
From the dreadful land of nightmares.
Drop your anchor in a brighter port
And leave your sombre sadness behind.
