Get Away From Stress
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The chirping of the birds,
And the buzzing heard from bees.
Sitting in a park alone among the trees.
Will...
Take away your stress.
Get up and leave.
No matter how you're dressed.
Decide,
There's no one to impress.
Give your mind these days,
A much needed rest.
Decide for yourself no more mess will you,
Accept.
To expect it coming to get.
Or to choose it to lose your mind.
Go to a park or take a long walk.
And share with anyone negative talk.
Do not delay,
To move away stress.
It doesn't pay.
To let your mind be stressed,
These days.
To be picked by pests to pester.
Your peace.
Hoping to take away your peace to leave you,
Perstered.
Done to do.
As if allowed to approve.
What they do.
Just to upset you!
Don't dare let them,
Share their mess.
To leave you feeling stressed.
Don't dare let them do their best,
To leave you the one left stressed.
And...
Pestered.
Done to do and to another that comes.
Unprepared yet welcomes to be pestered.
Unprepared yet welcomes to be stressed!
Over and out,
Of their minds.
With no peace around to find.
And feeling stressed.
Over and out,
Of their minds.
With no peace around to find.
And feeling stressed!
