Sit back and relax!
It's not like you
are tied to train tracks.
Leave it all to me, too.
You have your hands full.
Put everything down
maybe paint a picture of a seagull
or maybe a clown.
I've got this!
You need to chill,
You're not falling into an abyss.
You're making yourself ill.
It's a beautiful day
so you should go out and play!

I wrote this for my friends because most of them seem to stress out easily.
