Have you ever been

Scared shitless?

The thing you never wanted to happen

It’s upon you

And you’re not sure what step

To take next.

Suddenly like a wave

A tidal wave-

A tsunami really

All your greatest fears

Loom over you

Darkening everything

And crashing just like you

Always expected.

Why do we worry?

We worry because we’re human

And if we don’t worry for ourselves,

Who will?

What comes of worrying?

I’ll tell you.

The unexpected –

Expected –

Walks right up

Whispers in your ear

“All is well, I’m here.”

But what is well?

I’m scared shitless.
