"The Worrier, The Warrior"

"The Worrier, The Warrior"

Her mission, quiet and unwavering.

A worry that never sleeps,

a strength that never breaks.

Her body leans toward the edge,

fighting quietly for a better day.

A joy that warms the heart,

the world cannot understand.

These moments

the life support,

the reason to live, to crave.

And through the darkest nights,

my God still makes a way.

Don’t Fear Me.
