What do you think this poem is about?

Worry Away

I unhinged my worry
When I grabbed it by the throat,
We wrestled for a while
While I kept my nerve afloat.

I knew I couldn`t rest
Until I`d had my say,
No way would I keep quiet
Another second of that day.


'You`ve done your best
To drag me down
And bring me close to tears
As you destroyed my confidence
And backed up all my fears,
Now I`m at my lowest ebb
There`s no more work for you to do
As from this moment on
You and I are through'.

I then stood up and walked away
With a smile forced upon my face,
Worry still often chases me
But now I`m the one that sets the pace.

    Wrestle with worries to be the warriors, but this wrestling keeps on going in our life stage after stage.
    'Worry still often chases me
    But now I`m the one that sets the pace'.
    Great thought...

    A fantastic poem with a beautiful flow.
    We all have to stand and be counted at some
    Point in our life. I bet you feel a lot better for
    Doing so. A great write.
