Worry is a growth upon the mind: <br />A parasite – a tick or mite; a nick, <br />A churning gut – metaphors combined, <br />Rotting down a delicate constitution. <br /> <br />Anxiety, an intumescent whore: <br />A siren for a metastatic state; <br />Psychological rent – a weeping sore. <br />Hopelesly, you die for restitution. <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright © Mark R Slaughter 2009<br /><br />Mark R Slaughter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/worry-39/
