that worry thing you do

You do it so beautifully. Worrying about others, investing your energy into their daily lives. Keeping your focus on what needs to get done to help them make it through the day. Thinking about all the worst case scenarios, having your mind on infinite possibilities that amazingly never come true. Instead of simply waiting for things to unfold as they will, dealing with situations as they arise. Occupying your precious time with imaginary circumstances instead of enjoying reality as it plays itself out. Clinging to their need to have you fill what is void within them. And what about you? Is the fear of yourself as deep as your own inner chasm you are not willing to explore? You know as well as they do that all’s well ends well. In the end the ultimate outcome is as much out of your hands as it is out of theirs.
