The troubled situation burns up the soul,
Causing pain that incinerates happiness.

Steering to a life of challenging obstacles,
Proceeds to a path which leads to pessimism.

Stress creates tension on the body and mind,
As predicaments frames suffering due to trauma.

A war on misery is needed to battle catastrophe,
Confronting misfortunes through restoring blissfulness.

Fighting shortcomings by attacking complexities,
Guides to victory for winning peace can prevail.

Achieving harmony requires a campaign against problems,
Beating the hurdles of reality by jumping over struggles.

You feel overwhelmed by difficulties of life,
Causing stress in your daily livelihood.

Anxiety slips into your mind and body,
Leading to nerve-racking tensions.

This world has got the best of you,
Triggering pressure that’s hard to conquer.

Engulfed in the flames of adversities,
Feeling hopeless as you think nothing can help.

There is optimism waiting for you at the end,
But you need to brawl the hardships through ambition.

Fighting by using self-discipline and determination,
You can win the war on torturous obstacles.

Tranquility is beautiful when totally at rest,
As the body and mind relaxes to its full potential.

Putting your legs up on that recliner in state of peace,
Feeling your tensions lift from all muscles.

Not worrying about the stressors in life,
Thinking about the comfort of your couch.

Just lay back and enjoy the relaxation of the moment,
Without the concerns from this imperfect world.

You deserve to unwind due to a hard day,
Letting the spirit calm itself with good thoughts.

Your face turns red with blood,
Seeing veins looking like they are about to burst.

Perspiration flow similar to a river,
As sweat falls down the face.

Temperature rises to levels of the sun,
Feeling like you are about to burn up.

Heart races to the speed of light,
Experiencing a high pulse that’s unsafe.

Most people see these signs as you are angry,
Witnessing fury which is affecting your health.

Take a deep breath by inhaling through your nose,
And exhaling directly out of your mouth.

You can help release the tension by proper ventilation,
Breathing out the stressors of life when furious.

Unwelcomed change follows a trail of sadness,
Directing to a road that can cause regret.

Destiny took a wrong turn in the unwanted direction,
As life leads to disappointing outlooks for a future.

Misery can control the cognition process by doubting fate,
Lacking hope for the route to happiness.

Alterations can be created through fixing challenges,
Fighting for a way to the bridge that satisfies success.

The overpass exists in the distance,
But you must find the lane to bliss.
Michael LoMonaco Nov 2016
The road is an uncharted path,
One with many unwanted mysteries.

Fear creeps up as we drive down this course,
A normal reaction to the unknown journey.

This expedition is not a choice,
As we must embrace what is ahead.

Even though we can’t predict the future,
We can prepare our minds for any hardships.

If people are ready for the worst,
Yet stay optimistic for a positive outcome,
Individuals are prepped for destiny’s plan.

Apprehension crawls under the skin,
Causing fright in the human mind.

The abnormal anxiety dominates our thinking,
Afraid to preform activities of enjoyment.

Leading to a life that can drive isolation,
Hiding under that protected quilt.

Phobias are tensions that can be addressed,
Fighting a war against nervousness.

Start by conquering the dread head on,
Battling the horror at its source.

The fear response will peak when sparring worries,
But in the end, you can beat the fearful reaction.
