STRESS



Please don't give me stress it just winds up my head

thus robbing me of my sleep when I go to bed,

daytime I'm edgy and prone to mood swings

I jump in the air if the telephone rings,

my appetite disappears I look drawn and thin

Psoriasis (red ugly sores)appear all over my skin,

I chew my nails down,neglect how I look

cant concentrate to read the page of a book,

sudden bouts of colic cause me to collaspe in great pain

the time has come,I must admit,I cannot take the strain,

If you have a problem and advice is what you seek

I would love to help but right now I'm much to weak,

I have to learn to unwind,relax and just sit

take each day as it comes and get myself fit

and to live by the words "what will be will be"

failure to do this could be the end of me...
