She sought solace in a savory treat
Hoping worries would retreat
But like a shadow, they lingered near
Refusing to leave, despite her cheer

The flavors danced upon her tongue
But anxiety's weight remained unsprung
The meal, a brief distraction, a fleeting peace
But worries crept back, like a steady release

She thought a full belly would calm her mind
But concerns still swirled, like a storm left behind
The food, a temporary reprieve, a pause
But the weight of worries, still left its cause.
