What Me Worry

The worryholic's on the prowl  
keeping me awake  
if I don't learn  
to beat the beast  
I'm sure my brain will break  
 
I've tried out meditation  
and wise gurus mindful jaunts  
but like some greedy ghost  
the worries stream relentless  
they keep coming back to haunt  
 
Our oceans team with sharks  
while poor planet ship  
is sinking  
and who shall come to save us  
if the captain has been drinking  
 
Concerns about the future  
regrets about the past  
I close my eyes and shut my ears  
as anxiety compounds my fears  
and pins them to the mast
