Hello Stress, I see you there
You are poised and ready to ruin my day
Filling my head with thoughts of fear
Trying to make sure nothing good comes my way
You have been my companion for so many years
I have the empty antacid packs to prove this is true
You have taken great joy in the angst you bring
You have loved the misery you have put me through
But, Stress, your days are numbered
You have waged your last battle in my head
No more upset stomachs, no more panic
I have made my peace with my life instead
From now on, I live according to my rules
Your power no longer exists
I will greet each day with anticipation
No nagging premonitions of dread will persist
So go away, Stress! You no longer have a home
I have drawn the proverbial line in the sand
Go find yourself some other poor soul to haunt
Because this soul is no longer under your command
