Worry Poems
by C. A. Lynch
Last updated: August 20, 2024

Worry is a pervasive emotion that quietly infiltrates our minds, undermining our peace and clouding our judgment. It arises naturally in response to life's uncertainties and
unknowns, yet often it spirals into a cycle of anxiety, fear, and stress. While some may argue that worry can prompt necessary action, it more frequently becomes a burdensome habit,
draining mental and emotional resources without yielding solutions. The worry poems on this page are here to remind you that, no matter the challenges you face, allowing worry to
dominate your thoughts offers no true benefit.
These poems encourage a shift in focus, urging you to release the grip of worrying. Whether you are grappling with financial stress, facing uncertainties about the future, or seeking solace in faith amidst anxiety, these verses are crafted to provide comfort and a fresh perspective. Each poem serves as a gentle yet powerful reminder that, while the future may be uncertain, fixating on it only magnifies your fears and robs you of the ability to live fully in the present moment.
As you explore the various themes within our collection—ranging from practical coping strategies to reflections on the strength of faith in turbulent times—may these words inspire
you to reclaim your peace. Let them guide you toward a place of reassurance and calm, helping you to navigate life's inevitable challenges with a renewed sense of clarity and resilience.

Consumed
Poet: Julie Hebert
As I lay my head and get ready for my slumber.
It's then it holds me down, my mind totally encumbered.
The thoughts that find me now, seem over-exaggerated at best.
I know they aren't my truth, yet they keep me from my rest.
They invade my tired mind, even though I push them away.
Nothing keeps them from pushing through, creating total disarray.
Minutes turn to hours, exhaustion sets right in.
Of course that makes it worse, my worry has now spread within.
I can't let this continue, the pressure is just too much.
Besides, when has anyone ever heard, of worry acting like a crutch?
It doesn't make us better, it doesn't help us out.
It feeds the guilt inside us and brings us lots of doubt.
We can't let worry consume us, or overstate our point of view.
Most of what we worry about isn't even true.

The Weight of Worry
Poet: C. A. Lynch
Worry sneaks in, growing from small to great,
Turning calm into chaos, a burdensome weight.
It feeds on our thoughts, bringing more anxiety,
Adding stress to the mind, disrupting tranquility.
Do what you can, and work with care,
But know when to pause, to release the despair.
Some things in life are beyond our hand,
Let them drift away like grains of sand.
Worry does nothing but cloud your days,
So let go of what you can't control,
And free your mind to find brighter ways.

Focus On Living
Poet: C. A. Lynch
I sat and fretted and
Wondered why.
What if this happens
Would I die?
And if only I changed
The things I do
Would it work out
I wonder too.
I sit and worry
And feel my energy sapped
I thought so much
I feel like I need a nap.
Then I realized
I was wasting time
Wondering what if
And tomorrow would I have a dime.
Worry takes away
All life has to offer
There is no positive
In fact, worry is like a monster.
The best way to overcome
Is to focus my mind
on the positive and blessings
I know I can find.
Every time that negative thought
Starts forming in my mind
I will go out and help someone
By being extra kind.
I know I have the ability
To control my own thinking
I will not let worry be the focus
I will focus on living!

The Weight of Coins
Poet: C. A. Lynch
Bills stack high, like shadows in the night,
Each dollar stretched thin, an endless fight.
Anxiety grows as the debts expand,
Stress grips tight, like a tightening band.
We chase the dream, but the costs are steep,
Worrying over numbers that rob our sleep.
The burden of balance, a heavy load,
Carving deep lines on a weary road.
Yet in this race, we lose what’s real,
The peace that no wealth can ever steal.
For all the coins that clink and fall,
Can’t buy the calm to ease it all.

Worry Today
Poet: C. A. Lynch
Worry today
Have gray hair tomorrow
The years of your life
Worry will borrow.
Worry today
Will help start wrinkles that last
It takes away your smiles
It focuses on the past.
Worry today
Will clutter up your mind
You will find no relief
From worry of any kind.
Change your thoughts today
When worry comes don't let it stay
Send it on down the road
Do this and it will lighten your load!

The Uncharted Horizon
Poet: Robert
Rivers
The future looms, a mist we cannot see,
An uncharted path where shadows silently flee.
Each step is veiled in a fog of doubt,
A realm of whispers where fears sprout.
We grapple with what might never be,
A cascade of "what ifs" shaping our reality.
Anxiety spins in the dark unknown,
While hope and trepidation vie for the throne.
Yet in this vast expanse of shifting skies,
We seek solace where our courage lies.
For though the future’s edge is blurred and wide,
Our strength unfolds as we bravely stride.

Trust God
Poet: C. A. Lynch
Surrender your fears, to God above,
He who created heaven and earth with love,
Trust in His power, have faith in His might,
For He will lead you through the darkest of night.
Let go of worry, let go of doubt,
For God’s enduring love, will never run out,
In His embrace, find peace and calm,
And know that with Him, you’ll never come to harm.

A Solution
Poet: C. A. Lynch
There is a solution to worry
And it can bring a peace to you
But people don't use it
So they end up stressed and feeling blue.
The solution you ask, well let me say
Give your worries to God and then just pray
God will give you a peace and you can
Go on about your day.
Always remember nothing is impossible
For God who loves us all
Never doubt His ability
He never wants to see us fall.
So next time you find yourself worrying
Stop and talk to God,
Tell Him all your troubles
And leave it in His hands.

Worry, Whine, And Fret
Poet: C. A. Lynch
Worry, worry, whine, and fret,
It's a habit hard to forget.
But when we stop and take a breath,
We see it solves naught, not much left.
The best we can do is face our fears,
With grit and determination steer clear of tears.
So instead of sitting down to frown,
Let's focus on solutions that help us crown!

Calm Within the Storm
Poet: C. A. Lynch
When worry surges like a tempest wild,
Seek calm in the chaos, let your mind be mild.
Breathe deeply, anchor in the present’s grace,
Let not the storm's shadows cloud your space.
Embrace the small steps, let action guide,
Focus on what’s within reach, not on the tide.
Turn worries to tasks, break them down,
Find peace in progress, wear a lighter crown.
Remember, the tempest will eventually wane,
And clarity will come through the gentle rain.
In each mindful moment, find your way,
And let calm transform the worry of the day.

Worry Has No Benefit
Poet: C. A. Lynch
Worry never solved a problem
Often times it only made it grew.
Worry never lets us see the positive
It often distracts our view.
Worry is a waste of time
Taking action is what we can do
Worry only brings us down
There is no benefit for you.
