Worried!

by Gina Telles

Staying up late at night

Thinking of my every fright

Did I study for that test?

What if I don’t try my best?

Does my crush hate me?

Am I going crazy?

Could I have said something better?

I don't know tomorrow's weather

Will a tornado steal my house?

I didn’t clean my favorite blouse

I still have laundry left to do

And a load in the washer too

I hope there isn’t a hurricane

But I do love the smell of rain

Why can’t I just count sheep?

Now I worry I won’t get sleep.
