Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.<br /> - Nathaniel Hawthorne


The worry,
Coiling like a snake
Around my heart.
Fearfully I run
But worry doesn’t play games
Its inside

I care too much
For the one’s I love
Protection,
Love,
Gratitude
I feel responsibility when they feel bad
Becoming
Something else
Wrong

The snake is closer
Ready for the kill
Love triumphs over all?
But worry comes along

Go with the flow
