Oh, to be a person who
Stays cool, calm and collected,
Instead of one whose jangly nerves
Has stressing-out perfected.
To be the one who never sweats,
Whose heart won’t race on faster,
Anticipating something wrong,
From trifle to disaster.
I’d like to feel relaxed and not
Stretched taut with fret and worry
And take my time without the need
To feel that I must hurry.
To rationally make a choice
And never second guess it;
To analyze a situation,
With no need to stress it.
Oh, to be that person!
What a joy that it would be!
The only drawback is, of course,
That it would not be me!
