Exhale

Too steep! Too steep!
I simply cannot sleep
I should be off in slumberland
The hill! The hill!
Its incline haunts me still
What if it does not go as planned
My brain! My brain!
It's racing 'round again
I simply do not understand
Exhale, close eyes
And try to realize
That life is truly pretty grand
