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.
