DO NOT SLEEP WITH WORRY by Donna Ashworth

"DO NOT SLEEP WITH WORRY"
by Donna Ashworth

Do not sleep with worry

worry is no good in bed

he will interrupt your slumber

spinning dramas like a web

he will plant weeds in your garden

to strangle all you’ve grown

pulling roots up from your flowerbeds

to make room there for his own

he will take your precious memories

and paint them murky grey

he will find your inner child

and send her cowering on her way

do not let him in your bed, love

crack the window, shoo him out

throw his friends out there to join him

fear, perfection and self-doubt

now quickly, close the window

come back and snuggle down

and check that only good thoughts

are allowed to stick around

let hope and joy come by

they are soothing, wise and true

add acceptance to the mix

then let peace wash over you

no do not sleep with worry

worry is no good in bed

you have stress enough in life

to let that monster in your head.
