Blessed Stress

This world is in shambles and utterly mess

Needless to say, it has left me down and depressed

Each day I fight the battle with sanity and stress

Trying to find reasons to feel calmer and blessed

From the ashes of things lost and tossed to the side

With sheer determination and for the sake of my pride

I realize life can be one hell of a crazy ride

And like the Phoenix, if we keep pushing forward we too can rise

Learning to change obstacles into opportunity is key

Keep on fighting the battles like a warrior longing to be free

Take the stress and use it to motivate you and you'll see

That you are blessed with everything you have and will be
