No stranger to everyone
almost from the day borne
 conscious or subconscious,
live within us like shadows
permeating our thoughts,
through varying intensities
their presence known to us.

Their severity attuned
to our own inner needs,
in maintaining ourselves
finding a place in society,
surviving in it best we can
promoting our own welfare,
through our own uniqueness
building bonds, friendships
pointing to commitments.

Concerns about our daily bread
Concerns about our daily health
Concerns about the ones we love
Concerns about those close to us
Endless the list
Just remember this
Concerns can be mitigated, overcome
If they are resolved one by one.
