What If? Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The enemy has
ensnared us with
two little words:
"What if? "

With those two
little words,
he sets our
imaginations
whirling, spinning
tales of the doom
that lurks ahead.

Anxiety says,
"What if? "
"What if I get
too close to
this person and
she manipulates
me like the last
friend I trusted? "

"What if my spouse
cheats on me? "
"What if my
children die tragically? "
"What if my boss
decides I'm expendable? "
