When stress and tension are so high, That you believe your stomach holds the weight of the sky, Beat up a black, swinging punching bag And leave your tensions behind to mangle, dangle and drag Unleash the power bestowed within, You may find doing so also unleashes a grin Wild, almost psychotic, off-the-hook The kind that makes passers-by turn and look Hook, uppercut, jab and straight, Doesn't matter which, leave that to fate And put the sky back where it belongs Out of your chest, because it fits wrong

Sky-High Stress
When stress and tension are so high, That you believe your stomach holds the weight of the sky, Beat up a black, swinging punching bag And leave your tensions behind to mangle, dangle and drag Unleash the power bestowed within, You may find doing so also unleashes a grin Wild, almost psychotic, off-the-hook The kind that makes passers-by turn and look Hook, uppercut, jab and straight, Doesn't matter which, leave that to fate And put the sky back where it belongs Out of your chest, because it fits wrong
Did this today. Beat up a punching bag. Thanks, Georgia, for providing said punching bag. My knuckles aren't quite as raw as they were :)
