Can I Rest

Can I rest? That's the quest Most of us are addicted to stress Which helps when things are next, next, next But when they slow down life's a mess Why the later I go to sleep, the earlier I wake Everything like an earthquake Truly can make the world shake The day I take a break Can I rest? This is a test, everything a mess, I am glad. I am blessed. But I have to see can I rest. Stress will infest and make you detest... Living... which is meant to decompress I cannot change the people around me So I must change the people around me I pray inward, ground me Let's see can I rest, I've been on this quest Let's see... Can I rest.
