Stress & Vines

1/31/2019
stress wraps you like vines on a tree
tangling your calm in a web of angst
the more you fight, the tighter it squeezes
until you lifelessly lie in it's arms
but if you take a breath, open your eyes
you'll see you can unwind yourself
from the vines, one by one, until
you've set yourself free from their grasp
