State of Mind

State of mind
Keep it together, take a deep breath
It is not worth the fuss
Don’t make a face, just keep it straight
And God forbid, don’t cuss!
Just take it in and sit in it
Believe me, you won’t die
It’s just perception, let it slide
You shouldn’t even cry
Just let it rush, yes, let it rage
Sit tight don’t lose composure
Your virtues shouldn’t be blown away
Endure and you’ll get closure
However tough the test may be
Be patient and you’ll find
The aftermath of this mental gale
Is a pleasant state of mind.
