Stress

Who are we when we are stressed?
When we are not feeling our best
Who is it that has hit the wall
And one more punch will mean a fall?

Do you know this person here?
The one that talks when there is fear?
In awareness can you be
When pressure saps your energy?

When you are pulled
Or asked to take
And you then push
Be what you make
You may never really know
The version of yourself you show

To be the one you want to be
Means pausing and stopping to breathe
And recognize there is a side
That from ourselves we try to hide

And if you look it in the face
You can conquer it with grace
And never fear the things to come
There is no stress only the One.
