Stress Away Poem by Michael Peterson

Stress can be brought on by many ways
Family fights, work, love, bills, illness
Whatever it is, it can make us or break us
To find a way to relieve the stress can be a pain
Walks, talks, separations, meditations can help
We all find a way, by the way we clear our minds
The true answer is hidden inside our souls
Till we find the answer, bad things happen
Fights, separations, loneliness, mind games
It eats at our minds and drains our energy
From wandering minds thru sleepless night
Appetites lose as well, depression sets in
We wonder is there no end,something has to bend
Minutes becomes hours days to month to years
Since we need to find a cure, before it consumes us
Craziness, lies, fights, works can hurt
To find a way, we must breathe and think
Is it worth the hurt, the pain, the strain?
Things that happen can not be changed
Maybe repaired by time, love, mind
Don't let stress take your life away
Once it does it's strain you'll never fulling recover from
Walk away, clear the mind, a gentle laugh, a pleasant thought
To ease the stress, we will learn to live a better life
