The Poetic Stress Releaser

Having lived past the six score years stage 
with loads of stress bringing stammer block 
causing lots of anxiety headaches and all 
but I’ve found secret for stress to unlock 

Taken my pen into my right hand 
with A4 sheets of paper on my lap 
then take words from my mind 
put them all together a poetic map 

It’s amazing really how words work 
as I put them on paper like a rhyme 
stress seems to fade right away 
such peace indeed does just climb 

This is to me simply truly amazing 
how words can change one’s inside 
taking thoughts and emotions freely 
making them fill your heart with pride 

So stress doesn’t need to beat you 
let that pen take away that stress 
with it flowing endless peace filled ink 
this is best blessing indeed oh yes!

It is true, poetry calms me down and focus away from my M.S. Beautifully written.
