Relax

Relax

You could fail the test next period

Or have an unexcused absence for the play

Your family could hate you

Your boyfriend could cheat on you

Your dinner could burn

Your car might not start

Your dog might die

Your house may burn down

It was one said in ancient Egypt

That there was a woman trapped

High on a mountain cliff

There was a singular ladder going down the cliff

It would break if touched

Suddenly, a large, hungry lion appeared

At this moment, she finds a pebble

Brighter than the ocean

She admires its beauty

She clutches it firmly

As she jumps into the sea

Of unforgotten troubles
