Easing Stress

When stress begins to take control and you're at your wits end Just take some time to ease your mind, Relax a while, you'll start to mend Some turn to drugs and alcohol to ease the stress But that only makes it worse You'll only end up with hangovers and always wanting more

' Relax a while, take some time to ease your mind. ' This is the best advice and I completely agree. So many try the ways you mentioned, and you're right, it only makes it worse. Your thoughts caress gently around me and my heart. My best to you, Joseph. Hugs, Brandy

Addiction does not help stress. This is a great poem of prevention.

So true drugs and alcohol isnt the solution for stress although some cant help it Sometimes. What a deep and profound poem that delivers an important reminder and one that flows with such profound truth. Pleasure reading this
